Am I more likely to need an attorney if I am involved in a collision with a commercial truck than if I had the same type of accident with another passenger car?

 

A:

Yes.  First, collisions with large trucks are more likely to cause serious injuries, and the need for an attorney increases with the severity of the damages.  Second, semi-truck accident claims can be more complex than other injury claims.  Trucking companies begin investigating the accident immediately and their insurers defend them very aggressively because of the large dollar amounts that might be involved.  You will need a lawyer who is experienced and knowledgeable to maximize the value of your claim.
