The best time to consult a lawyer for a truck accident is immediately after your crash. There is no benefit to waiting. Truck accidents can prove financially devastating if you don’t have the right team behind you throughout the process.
At Gruber Law Offices, we have a large, powerful team ready to help. Our truck accident lawyers in Milwaukee want to protect your interests, answer your questions, and fight for your legal compensation. That’s why our case consultations are free of charge. The sooner you consult our truck accident lawyers, the sooner we can take action on your behalf.
Truck accidents tend to leave victims like you with substantial bills and serious injuries. Your health concerns should be your first priority, though it’s all too easy to let your concerns about bills eclipse your physical health. How are you supposed to pay your bills if you can’t work and need extensive medical treatments?
We recommend that you contact a Milwaukee truck accident lawyer right away. Ideally, you’ll want to contact an attorney within a few hours of your accident. Our attorneys can oversee:
Unfortunately, trucking agencies and insurance companies can send representatives to the scene of your accident while you’re still in shock. These parties can take advantage of your confusion and deny you support later down the line. The sooner you call a lawyer, the sooner we can intercept these attempts to act in bad faith.
You have more to worry about than insurance companies and trucking agencies. You’re also working against Wisconsin’s personal injury statute of limitations. Wis. Stat. § 893.54(1m) allows you to take up to three years to bring a claim against the party responsible for your losses.
You cannot file a personal injury claim after your relevant statute of limitations expires. With that in mind, we recommend you get in touch with a Milwaukee personal injury lawyer at Gruber Law Offices as soon as you can after a serious loss. We can take advantage of the filing time allotted to you.
If you’re wondering when to consult a lawyer for a truck accident, the best answer is “now.” However, what should you expect from an experienced lawyer? Our team can help you manage your:
We’ve worked with insurance companies before. We know what underhanded techniques insurance claims adjusters can use to deny you the support you deserve. These bad-faith tactics may include the following:
Our team points out these bad-faith tactics, along with others, to emphasize an insurance company’s attempts to deny you support. We can then intervene, challenging those tactics and forcing an insurance company to take your losses seriously.
You cannot bring a truck accident claim forward unless you have enough evidence to meet or exceed Wisconsin’s burden of proof. Fortunately, our experienced team can gather the evidence most relevant to your case. The evidence we can use to build your case may include the following:
We won’t let insurance companies or trucking agencies deny you access to evidence relevant to your case. If either of these parties tries to hide photos, black box data, or electronic data from you, we can step in. You can trust our truck accident lawyers to build you as comprehensive of a case as possible.
You have the right to request support that comprehensively addresses your truck accident losses. If you’re not sure how to calculate the value of your case, you can consult a truck accident lawyer to determine what losses you can include in a claim.
The losses we can help you secure damages for may include the following:
You do not have to go to trial to secure a comprehensive truck accident settlement. Sometimes, cases can instead be settled outside of court, between you and the liable party, and/or an insurance company. You can discuss this process during a free case evaluation with our team.
At Gruber Law Offices, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you will not have any upfront costs. Our lawyers only get paid when we win your case. Then, our payment comes out of your settlement – never out of your pocket.
There’s a chance that the parties responsible for your truck accident may accuse you of sharing liability for your losses. If you find yourself struggling to make these parties take you seriously, consult a truck accident lawyer and discuss how to proceed.
We know that Wisconsin relies on modified comparative fault laws to divide fault between the parties involved in a truck accident. For example, a truck driver may argue that you’re responsible for 20% of your accident. If you can’t argue against that accusation, you can still receive a settlement, but the court will reduce the value of your settlement by 20%.
Fortunately, our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers can fight back in the face of a wrongful accusation. Our representation helps you get all of the compensation you deserve.
Don’t let insurance companies take advantage of you after a serious accident. You can hold insurance companies and trucking agencies responsible for your recovery. Our Milwaukee personal injury lawyers can help you begin your claim and guide you every step of the way.
Your first case consultation with our personal injury lawyers is FREE. And there’s never a fee until we win. Are you ready to learn more? Reach out to our team today to book a case assessment. Remember: one call, that’s all!
