Trucking accidents happen on a daily basis. Many times, these accidents are preventable caused by negligence or wrongdoing. In these cases, one or more parties may be held legally responsible for any injuries that result from the accident. Trucking companies, in an attempt to avoid liability, may use a number of different tactics to deny a valid claim.
In order to hold trucking companies accountable, you need an attorney. A truck accident attorney can help you understand your rights and determine whether you should file a claim for damages. It is important to act quickly as you generally only have two years from the date of the accident to file a cause of action based on personal injury.
