Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my truck accident case worth?
It depends on injury severity, liable parties, and insurance coverage. We aim to maximize all damages.
What if the trucking company denies fault?
That’s common. We counter their tactics with solid evidence and aggressive representation.
Will I have to go to court?
Most truck accident cases settle outside of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
