Truck Accident

What should I do if an insurance adjuster or trucking company representative contacts me?

Remain calm and identify the person you are speaking with. Don’t allow them to record you and don’t provide a statement. Do not furnish the adjuster with any details about the accident or your injuries.

If they offer you a quick settlement, don’t take it. It may be tempting, but you should consult with an attorney first. An attorney will negotiate for a full and fair settlement that considers all your current and future losses relating to the accident.

Our attorneys at The Wilhite Law Firm have a long track record of taking on trucking companies and big insurers. We know the tactics they will use to try to deny or diminish your injury claim. We will work to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

What if I am partly at fault for my truck crash?

Texas is a “modified comparative negligence” state. In Texas, you can still claim damages for a truck accident if you, the plaintiff, are not 51 percent or more at fault than the other party or parties. So, for instance, if you were found to be 30 percent at fault, and the truck driver was 70 percent at fault, then you would still be able to recover damages. However, you would receive only 70 percent of the damages you could have received if you were not to blame at all for the crash.

Should I accept a truck accident settlement?

You should never accept a truck accident settlement without first consulting with a Dallas truck accident attorney. Insurance companies will often offer a quick settlement that may seem generous, but it is likely far less than you deserve and need. If you accept a settlement right off the bat, you could end up paying for some expenses out of pocket down the line. Always speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement.

How much do truck accident lawyers charge?

Our truck accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. In other words, The Wilhite Law Firm will not charge you anything unless we win your case.
