Can Appleton Truck Accident Lawyers Help You File an Insurance Claim?

Our team can help you file an insurance claim after an accident. You should never take on an insurance company alone. Fighting alone can prevent you from recovering the damages you deserve. An experienced and powerful truck accident attorney in Appleton, WI, can help you win a comprehensive settlement.

We can stop insurance companies from using bad faith techniques to deny you the support you deserve. These techniques may include the following:

  • Removing evidence from the scene of your accident
  • Pressuring you into giving a recorded or written statement about your losses
  • Pressuring you into accepting an insufficient settlement offer
  • Denying you access to data related to your case
  • Deliberately slowing down the claims process
  • Ghosting you an initial conversation about your losses

We Prioritize Your Financial Well-Being After Serious Truck Accidents

Gruber Law Offices understands that you may be reluctant to reach out to a lawyer after a serious crash, especially if the bills are piling up.   

Good news – it costs you nothing to retain the services of Gruber Law Offices. We’re paid on contingency.  That means that we don’t get paid until you get paid.

When Should You File a Truck Accident Claim?

It’s best to contact a lawyer immediately after your truck accident.  The sooner we can get to the scene, the faster we can prevent insurance companies from taking advantage of you. 

We can keep the representatives and insurance adjusters from making key evidence disappear. We can also stop a company’s lawyers from pressuring you to accept an insufficient settlement offer. The sooner you call our office, the sooner we make sure you get the representation you deserve.

Our attorneys can pursue a truck accident case on your behalf as long as you file a claim within your statute of limitations. Wis. Stat. § 893.54(1m) gives you no more than three years to file your claim. 

Who’s to Blame for a Truck Accident?

We use evidence to determine when truck drivers are liable for accidents and when blame falls on someone else. Our team of over 120 legal professionals can find the data we need to:

  • Claim someone violated your duty of care
  • Elaborate on the negligence that caused your accident
  • Calculate the value of your truck accident losses

We can also account for any contracts that might impact your right to name someone responsible for your losses. Gruber Law Offices fights for the underdog – you can count on our team to cut through any red tape standing between you and the compensation you deserve.

Independent Contractors and Reduced Liability

Most trucking agencies prefer to work with contractors, not employees. Why? Because trucking agencies don’t have to take legal responsibility for contractors. Instead, contractors have to purchase their own insurance and accept liability for any accidents they cause.

What does this mean for you? If you get into an accident with a truck driver, you need to know what contract they work on. You can sue independent contractors for your losses, but you can’t sue their clients. However, you can sue a corporation for employee negligence.

Holding Corporations Responsible for Your Losses

Unfortunately, corporations will make it difficult for you to recover the damages you need to pay your bills. If you get into an accident with an on-duty employee, many corporations will try to pressure you into accepting an insufficient settlement offer. Some may even threaten to blame you for the accident.

Our Appleton truck accident lawyers don’t let corporations bully you into accepting an unfair offer. We work with specialists, accident reconstructionists, and former law enforcement detectives to make corporations acknowledge the reality of your accident. 

You can count on our team to help you maximize the compensation you receive from the negligent trucking company. 

When to Involve Third Parties in Your Case

There’s a chance that neither a truck driver nor a trucking company may be entirely liable for your losses. There are several other parties that can share responsibility, including the following:

  • Truck manufacturers
  • Truck mechanics
  • Truck packing crews
  • Private motorists
  • Corporate motorists
  • Motorcyclists
  • Construction crews
  • Government representatives
  • Pedestrians

Our team can establish liability for your losses between these parties and any truck drivers involved in your recent accident. Doing so ensures that we can get you the justice you deserve for your losses.

What Is Contingency?

Our contingency fee agreements ensure that you don’t pay us any money up front. Our payment comes from your settlement. There’s never a fee until we win for you! It costs you nothing upfront to hire Gruber Law Offices.
