Unlike a typical car accident, many insurance companies may enter the picture after a commercial truck accident. The trucking industry is heavily regulated. Commercial truckers regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation must carry liability insurance in case of an accident that results in injury or death. If the truck is not governed by the transportation department, states require minimum liability coverage. Other entities or parties that may be liable for the accident may also have insurance. There is separate insurance coverage for the cab and for the trailer.
After you have been in a truck accident, you will be contacted by at least one insurance adjuster. Do not talk to the adjuster. Adjusters are not your friends. They work for the insurance companies and are trained to make arguments for the insurance company and find ways not to pay you the compensation you deserve.
If you have not retained an attorney, tell the adjuster or insurance company representative that you are retaining a lawyer who will contact them to discuss your case, then politely hang up. If you have retained an attorney, give the adjuster or representative the phone number of the law firm and no other information.
