Truck Accident Information & Truck Accident Lawyers In Virginia
When you are injured as a result of an accident with a large commercial truck on the roads and highways of Virginia and it was not your fault, there are certain rules that apply to such accidents. These rules involve investigations into safe driving practices, the road conditions and the maintenance of the trucks. A Virginia truck accident lawyer is skilled in doing an investigation on your behalf and will help to distinguish the type of case you have. In Virginia, truck accidents may be the result of manufacturers defects, negligence on the part of the driver or the trucking company or defective parts.
Your Virginia truck accident lawyer will help you understand which types of medical expenses are allowed when you make a claim for compensation. All reasonable expenses are taken into account, such as X-rays, dental, optical, chiropractic services, medications and ambulance transportation. If you take time off work and lose wages as a result, you can also claim for lost wages. The claim will also be for any damages or injuries sustained.
After a truck accident, the insurance company will probably contact you to offer a settlement. While you may think that this is a lot of money and you are inclined to accept the offer, you should contact a Virginia truck accident lawyer to have him/her evaluate the offer. This is because insurance companies often offer a lot less than they are willing to pay. They do not have any obligation to pay out the highest amount of money and a lawyer will be able to tell you whether or not you should sue for a higher settlement.
When you hire a Virginia truck accident lawyer to handle the injury case for you, the lawyer usually gets paid on a contingency basis. This means you don’t need to pay any money up front, nor will you have to borrow money to pay your legal bills. When you accept a settlement, the lawyer will deduct his/her fees, which is usually about 25% of the settlement as well as the costs associated with obtaining police and medical reports. Then you will receive the rest of the money as your part of the settlement.
