Truck Accident Liability

Answer:

What makes the tractor trailer injury cases so unique and extremely technical is that there are many people that need to be in the lawsuit, if one is filed. You have the tractor trailer driver, the trucking company, or the owner of the truck. In today’s world, many trucks are leased from companies to other companies so that people can have more trucks when they don’t have the capital to buy anymore trucks. You really don’t know all the people involved in a case at first glance. You have to really dig deep. You have to drill for gold. You need to find out who’s really involved in this.In the laws of Oklahoma, you can even sue the trucking company’s insurance company. In automobile wreck cases, you can’t sue the insurance company, but when you have a commercial policy, with a tractor trailer company, you can bring in your insurance company. As you can imagine, you’re going to have three or four defense attorneys involved, and you have one plaintiff lawyer involved, so you need to hire an attorney up front and quickly so he can prepare for all this litigation that’s coming. You have to be able to preserve the evidence. You have to be able to make sure you find all the right parties. You have to do your investigation. If you have any doubts at all, this is a complicated case, you need to hire an experienced, seasoned tractor trailer injury attorney to handle this.
