Seek Compensation After A Truck Accident In El Paso
On behalf of Lovett Law Firm posted in Truck Accidents on Thursday, December 11, 2014.
You may not have even seen the accident coming before you were hurt, but that doesn’t mean you should be forced to pay for the lost wages and medical bills you accrue. If you’ve been hurt in a semi-truck or commercial trucking accident, there are many questions you need to ask and multiple things to consider.
First of all, insurance companies can be difficult to deal with. They may initially want you to sign off on a settlement, even though you may not know the full extent of your injuries or how they will affect you in the future. Many accidents in the area take place in New Mexico and Texas on Interstate 10, I-25 and Highway 54, and because of the speeds on which these roads are traveled, those who get in accidents could have severe injuries.
After an accident, you may have lost wages, an extended hospital stay, mental anguish and other ailments. Your first priority needs to be medical care, but with the right help, you can have a legal partner to deal with the insurance company or with civil litigation to seek compensation from the person who harmed you. You need time to heal both physically and mentally, and you don’t need the additional stress of going to court.
Every case needs to be evaluated with the help of reconstruction teams, medical teams and with witness testimonies when possible. With these people assisting, you can build a strong case.
