Accidents involving large trucks can be devastating. If you or a loved one has been involved in one of these accidents, you may wonder what your legal options are – and if you need an attorney.
Here are just a few of the reasons to consider speaking to an Oregon truck accident lawyer about your experience:
You Can’t Afford Legal Fees
Why would you work with an attorney if you can’t afford to pay legal fees? The truth is most truck accident attorneys will offer free consultation. They may also work out a deal with you to only collect fees if they can get you the compensation you deserve. Talk to your local accident and injury lawyer to find out how they can help you navigate the financial difficulties that often surround these experiences.
You Get Turned Down for Compensation
You might think that a truck driver hitting you on the road would easily entitle you to compensation. Unfortunately, the insurance companies that represent these drivers may make getting that payout all but impossible.
If you find that your initial claim is rejected by the driver’s insurance – or that the at-fault driver is not complying with your claim – your attorney can help. Medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses in the process of recovering from an accident add up quickly, so partnering with a legal pro can help you offset this cost.
You Feel Entirely Overwhelmed
For most people, the thought of a lawsuit is already stressful and confusing. Add in the experience of being in an accident and you have a ready-made recipe for some of the most overwhelming experiences of your life.
Do not let this keep you from getting the compensation you are entitled to! Talk to an experienced legal professional to find out what your options are. You might be surprised at how easy it can be to get the payout you need – and the peace of mind you deserve!
