When the driver of a large truck, big rig, or tractor-trailer negligently brings about a collision with a smaller vehicle, the result can be devastating and sometimes deadly. In most instances, the driver and passengers in the smaller vehicle suffer the more serious injuries, such as fractures, broken bones, head and brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
If you are injured in a truck accident that takes place in New Jersey, the insurance company for the at-fault truck driver or trucking company may supply the necessary insurance coverage. However, in many instances, insurance companies significantly under-value these claims and will look for ways to limit settlements and payouts to accident victims. After all, insurance companies want to try and save themselves as much money as possible.
Sometimes, insurance companies will claim that the accident victim was not injured to the extent he or she claims and refuse to cover all injury-related losses. In other situations, insurers might challenge liability for the accident to avoid paying some or all of the victim’s losses.
Fortunately, a New Jersey truck accident lawyer at Leonard Legal Group is here to help. Our firm can negotiate on your behalf and work to help you obtain the monetary compensation and damages that you deserve for your injuries. If the truck driver or trucking company’s insurer refuses to pay you the compensation you need, we could file a lawsuit against the at-fault party in the state court system and litigate your case to a conclusion there.
