Your crash might seem easy to understand. You might think you dont even need a lawyer. Dont be so sure. Just because the other driver clearly caused the accident that does not guarantee you will be treated fairly by the insurance company. Insurance companies may act like they are your friends. In reality, most insurance companies are focused on paying people as little as possible after a car accident.
Many people often fail to consider the true cost of a car crash. There are also medical expenses, physical therapy and pain and suffering often for months or even years after an accident. Dont sell yourself short. Someone caused your accident. You shouldnt have to pay for their mistakes. At Coplan & Crane, we can work with you and help you obtain the compensation you legally deserve. Be aware that property damage accidents in some states cost drivers an estimated $9,000 each in 2011. We realize that for many people, spending $9,000 on an auto accident can result in financial ruin.
Chicago Il Personal Injury Lawyer – Who can be sued for damages?
Who can you sue for Damages arising from a truck wreck case? Well clearly the person driving the commercial truck that hit you. We can sue him or her. As you might expect we can also bring suit against the company that driver works for, who put the driver behind the wheel of that eighty thousand pound semi. What car crash lawyers may not know that experienced truck crash lawyers do is that there are a number of other people who are involved behind the scenes if you will, then just the driver and the drivers employer and the trucking company.
Experienced lawyers will tell you that many times the load that truck driver is carrying has been brokered by a third party. In other words, there is another corporation besides the driver and the trucking company, who’s responcible for putting that trucker together with that load that he or she was pulling. Sometimes that load broker places unreasonable time constraints on the truck driver, telling them that they need to be in a state by a certain day and certain time, they need to be in another state a short time later. They need to be in certain places at certain times and the only way the driver can meet those obligations the broker places on them is by violating federal law. By driving too long, by driving too fast, in those circumstances it is a receipe for disaster.
So we have the driver, we have the trucking company, we have brokers, anyone involved in causing the situation are appropriate defendents in a trucking case.
