Answer:

If you or someone you know has been involved in a truck accident, it’s very important that you select the right type of lawyer. Truck accidents are much more complex than an average car accident, and truck accidents have many, many unique characteristics, so it’s very important that you hire someone that has extensive experience and knowledge of truck accidents.

There are many regulations, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, that have numerous provisions that truck companies and truck drivers must follow. If you don’t hire a lawyer that’s familiar with those, and knows the ins and outs of the trucking industry and the laws that they must follow, it could make a huge difference in the amount of recovery you get and the kind of guidance and fighting that can be done for you along the way.

It’s also important that you hire a law firm that has the necessary resources needed to bring a truck accident case. Because they’re complex and because they often involve very serious injuries, oftentimes they require many, many experts, and it’s important that you hire a law firm with the necessary resources to hire those experts.

Last, make sure you hire a truck accident lawyer that’s not afraid to go to trial. Many truck accident cases, because of their complex nature, unfortunately get presented to juries, so it’s important that you have an accident attorney that’s experienced with trucking cases and is not afraid to go to trial and present your case to a jury.
