Truck Accident Case Value

Answer:

One of the questions that people ask me often, especially new clients, is, “How much is my tractor trailer injury claim worth?” It’s just not that easy to figure that out. You can’t just give a value, because you don’t know what the case is about yet. Sometimes it will take up to a year to get everything you need to properly evaluate a tractor trailer injury case. Why? Because you have to get information about the truck driver. You have to get information about the trucking company. You have to get information about any truck leasing company. You have to get information about how the truck was maintained. This doesn’t come voluntarily by the trucking company or the trucking company’s insurance company. You have to bring an action and you have to go get that information.What type of recovery you get on your truck injury case also depends on your injuries. Sometimes it might take a year or two years for us to determine your injuries and how severe they are or if they’re permanent. When people ask what their case is worth, I always tell them, “Look, I can’t tell you right now exactly what your claim is worth, but I can promise you we’ll do all we can to get you a fair, full, and equitable recovery for your case.”
