How to Deal with Insurance Companies After an 18 Wheeler Accident

After an 18 wheeler accident, one of the first things you'll need to do is file a claim with the insurance company. However, dealing with insurance companies can be a frustrating and time-consuming process, particularly when you're dealing with injuries and other damages. In this article, we'll provide some tips on how to deal with insurance companies after an 18 wheeler accident.

Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer

One of the best things you can do after an 18 wheeler accident is to contact a personal injury lawyer. A personal injury lawyer can help you navigate the insurance claims process and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. They can also ensure that your legal rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and other damages.

Don't Give a Recorded Statement

Insurance companies may ask you to provide a recorded statement about the accident. However, it's important to remember that the insurance company is not on your side. Anything you say during a recorded statement can be used against you later in the claims process. For this reason, it's generally best to avoid giving a recorded statement without first consulting with a personal injury lawyer.

Keep Detailed Records

It's important to keep detailed records of everything related to the accident. This includes medical bills, vehicle repair bills, and any other expenses related to your injuries and damages. Keep track of all conversations with insurance adjusters, including the date and time of the conversation and the name of the adjuster.

Don't Sign Anything Without Reviewing It First

Insurance companies may ask you to sign a release or settlement agreement. Before signing anything, it's important to have a personal injury lawyer review the agreement to ensure that you're not signing away your legal rights or accepting a settlement that is lower than what you deserve.

Be Patient

The insurance claims process can be a lengthy and frustrating process. Be patient and don't feel pressured to accept a settlement that is lower than what you deserve. A personal injury lawyer can help you negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and other damages.

Dealing with insurance companies after an 18 wheeler accident can be a daunting task. However, by following these tips and working with a personal injury lawyer, you can ensure that your legal rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and other damages.
