Trucking Accidents in
Dallas
It is not surprising that damages in 18-wheeler accident
cases are usually much higher than those in passenger vehicle accidents. But what you might not know is that these
cases also take place on a completely different legal battlefield.
The simple truth is that much more money is involved. The commercial insurance policies that
protect 18-wheelers are generally 50 times higher than typical passenger car
policies. To protect this investment,
these insurance carriers have whole teams of defense attorneys, insurance
adjusters, and accident experts at their fingertips.
Oftentimes this comes in the form of a technicality that you
haven’t even heard of. For instance,
18-wheelers are subject to federal regulations set by the Federal Motor
Carriers Safety Administration. This
creates a gray area between state and federal laws that defense attorneys can
easily navigate, depending on how it suits them.
The driver of the 18-wheeler might even be out to get
you. Though we certainly hope that the
driver will own up to his mistakes and take full liability, it doesn’t always
work out that way. For the driver, his
entire career is on the line. He may be
tempted to tell his insurance adjusters just the lie they need to completely
shut down your case.
The key point to take away from all this is that your legal
opponent isn’t the truck driver. It’s
the truck driver’s massive insurance carrier and their team of legal experts
specially chosen for their ability to deny claims just like yours. You need a team of equally specialized and
experienced attorneys. The attorneys at
