We know that insurance companies like to avoid paying money. Our attorneys are here to protect you from insurance companies’ bad faith tactics, particularly in the wake of a truck accident. We can help you identify:
- Corporate ghosting

When to Take a Truck Accident Claim to Civil Court
If you don’t get the fair offer you need from an insurance company, you can work with a Fond du Lac truck accident attorney to take your case to civil court. The court system makes it easier for you to deal with uncooperative insurance companies as well as belligerent defendants.
What’s more, the civil process allows you to recover more damages than you would if you filed an insurance claim. Civil claims allow you to request compensation based on your economic and non-economic truck accident losses. Comparatively, insurance claims restrict your recovery by discounting your non-economic losses.

Independent Contractors Versus Corporate Employees: Who’s Responsible for Your Accident?
When you file a truck accident claim, you need to soundly identify the party(ies) you want to hold responsible for your losses. That party tends to either be:
- An independent contractor who views a corporate entity as a client, not an employer
- An employee working under a corporate umbrella
If you get into an accident with a truck driver who works on an independent contractor’s contract, you can sue that individual for damages. You may not sue the independent contractor’s clients. However, getting into an accident with an employee entitles you to legal action against their employer.
All that said, there are other parties that may take the blame for your losses, including truck manufacturers, packers, and mechanics. Even construction crews and government officials may be to blame for your losses. You need to find evidence of negligence before you name any of these parties responsible for your recovery, which is why it’s imperative to get help right away.
