ACCIDENTS & INJURIES
HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT?
When a truck collides with a passenger vehicle, disaster follows. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed in a truck accident, receiving fair and just compensation may be your only recourse for physical, mental, and emotional recovery.
Insurance companies may be happy to settle, but their first goal is to protect their own bottom line – not to help the victim recover. Insurance companies will also try to get away with not paying for future medical bills, lost wages, loss of earned income, and other expenses that you may not be aware of but which the law allows you to recover. You may need to file a personal injury claim. Timing of a personal injury claim is critical in that there are deadlines that must be met in order to recover. It is important to know the laws specific to your jurisdiction, thus, the reason why it is so very critical to your personal injury case to speak to a truck accident lawyer.
At Lemme Law Offices, we help you pick your fight to ensure that you get a fair judgement.
