18 Wheeler Accidents and Insurance Companies

Attorney Howard Watt discusses the role insurance companies play in litigation of 18-wheeler accidents.

18-wheel accidents—oftentimes, insurance companies will send investigators out to the scene immediately. They will notify the insurance company or the trucking company’s attorneys immediately. So they’re actively working on the case, building a case against you, documenting the evidence as soon as possible. So it’s that much more critical that you seek legal advice, especially if you can get a free consultation, which most of us will do. You’ll learn more about your rights, help to preserve the evidence, and make sure that, if you do have a case, that you’re protected and that you don’t lose desperate time in putting together the case.
