If you or a loved one have been injured in a truck accident (18 wheeler, not F-150), then there have probably been some catastrophic damages (to the car if nothing else). When these types of accidents happen, you need to get a truck accident attorney. But who? And how will you know if they are right for you? If they have these three qualities then you know you are at least on the right track.
1. Experience.
When I say experience with any attorney I don’t mean years in practice, I mean experience and time working on cases like this that you are going to need. See, real truck accident lawyers don’t usually have a lot of time to do much else. They will probably take other accident cases, but that’s about it. Even within personal injury law you see a diversion of attorneys into specific fields of practice (medical malpractice, construction defect, truck accident). Find someone that handles these cases and has handled them in the past.
2. A Plan.
Cases like these need organization. There is often a lot of work that goes into the case before a claim is even filed (that’s why you get two years in most states). Any truck accident attorney worth his or her salt is going to be able to describe to you exactly what they do and when they do it, and if you ask, why they do it. So ask what their plan is. If they don’t have one, that should be a red flag.
3. Your Trust.
At some point in time your case is going to get down to the nitty gritty. You are going to have an offer on the table, and it’s going to be decision time. When that time comes, you need a truck accident lawyer you can trust to help you decide the best course of action. You need to know that if trial was the way to go, that’s what they’d recommend, even if it meant a lot more work for them.
I hope you never need a truck accident attorney to help you out. But if you do, and they have these three qualities, you should be in good hands.
