The experience and and investigative teams are a primary reason to hire an experienced HLH Louisville personal injury attorney. There are significant differences between a car accident which involves passenger vehicles and a truck accident. The injuries are usually much more severe when a commercial vehicle or large truck is involved, and the insurance surrounding the truck is actually quite complex.
There are often multiple insurance companies associated with a truck. There may be different insurance companies for the driver, the company the driver was working for as well as the actual owner or lessor of the truck and those responsible for fleet maintenance and safety.
These insurance companies have one goal: reduce or eliminate their liability associated with your injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one. These insurance companies will extensively investigate the accident and search for evidence to support their own self-interests. They use aggressive tactics to reduce the value of your claim or to deny it altogether.
The behavior and self-interest of truck accident insurance and investigative teams are a primary reason to hire an experienced HLH Louisville personal injury attorney.
