What to do if the Insurance Company Contacts you after an 18 Wheeler Accident Injury

If you have been involved in an 18 wheeler accident, it is not uncommon for the trucking company or their insurer to contact you shortly after the incident. While it is important to cooperate with them to some extent, it is also important to protect your legal rights and avoid saying anything that could be used against you in the future.

Here are some steps you should take if you are contacted by the 18 wheeler company or their insurer after an accident:

Be cautious: Remember that the insurance company and the trucking company have their own interests in mind, which may not align with yours. Be careful about what you say to them, and avoid admitting fault or making any statements that could be misconstrued later.

Get the details: If the trucking company or their insurer contacts you, be sure to get their name and contact information, as well as any details about the conversation you have. This information can be helpful later if you need to follow up with them or consult with a lawyer.

Don't sign anything: Do not sign any documents or agreements without first consulting with a personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies may try to pressure you into signing a settlement agreement quickly, but doing so could jeopardize your ability to recover fair compensation for your injuries and damages.

Consult with a lawyer: If you have been contacted by the trucking company or their insurer, it is a good idea to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. They can help you understand your legal rights, negotiate with the insurer on your behalf, and ensure that your interests are protected throughout the claims process.

In summary, if the 18 wheeler company or their insurer contacts you after an accident, it is important to be cautious, get the details, avoid signing anything, and consult with a personal injury lawyer. Following these steps can help you protect your legal rights and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
