Going Up Against Massive Insurance Companies
Insurers that cover trucking and freight companies are used to dealing with serious personal injury claims. In many cases, there are multiple insurance companies covering different aspects of a tractor trailer's operation, and it can be unclear who is responsible for compensating you after an accident.
Some of these insurance companies are not very responsive to claims from people who have been injured, and many are located out of state. We can sort out the confusing insurance issues and start pursuing the compensation you deserve.
If you try to deal directly with a trucking insurance company, you may end up not getting the compensation you deserve. You need your own advocate when you are going up against these experienced professionals.
You may want to get your claim over with quickly so you can pay your medical bills, but you have other options. Most medical providers that treat people who have been in tractor trailer accidents are willing to wait for payment until the conclusion of a personal injury case. Attorney Raul A. Guajardo can contact your hospital and doctors on your behalf.
