At Your Service When You Need Us
If you’ve been involved in one of these accidents and you are searching for a truck accident lawyer in Rockford, the attorneys at Crosby & Crosby Law are ready to assist you in every way possible.
At the law firm of Crosby & Crosby, we investigate and litigate accidents involving all kinds of truck accidents, everything from semi-truck collisions to delivery van mishaps and everything in between. We represent both the victims of truck accidents and the families of those who have lost a loved one in a trucking accident.
Here are some of the ways the personal injury lawyers at our law firm can assist you in a trucking accident case.
- Securing adequate compensation: You want to be adequately compensated for any damages and injuries you may have suffered. Of course, you can seek compensation on your own, but the task is much easier if you have an experienced lawyer at your side who is familiar with all the filing requirements and intricacies of the state’s legal system.
- Collection of vital evidence: You need as much evidence as possible to back your compensation claim. At Crosby & Crosby, we have the experience and knowledge to look for evidence to support your claim of negligence against the other party. We can work with you in gathering valuable evidence including, among others, eyewitness accounts, photos, and videos of the accident. This kind of evidence can be extremely important in substantiating your claim for compensation for the damages and injuries you’ve suffered.
- Conducting crucial negotiations: Besides you and any passengers who may have been in your vehicle, many other parties will be involved in your accident. These can include the truck driver, the driver’s employer, those responsible for truck maintenance, the truck’s manufacturer, and possibly, the shipper owning the truck’s cargo. Rest assured, each of these individuals and entities will have lawyers fighting for them and trying to absolve them of any blame for the accident. Faced with that reality, you need experienced attorneys by your side to fight on your behalf and help you secure the compensation for damages and losses to which you are entitled.
- Representation in court: If post-accident negotiations do not lead to an out-of-court settlement and your case goes to court, our experienced truck accident lawyers at Crosby & Crosby can organize and present the evidence needed to support your compensation claim and prepare you for any testimony you may be required to give during the court proceedings.
Taking these steps with legal support can make all the difference in navigating the complexities of a truck accident claim.
Additional Advice After Your Accident
In addition to seeking legal representation, there are practical steps you should take immediately following a truck accident to protect your health and legal rights. These actions can greatly strengthen your case and aid in your recovery:
- Get all necessary medical help: Your health comes first. Even after initial emergency care, continue with any recommended follow-up treatment to ensure all injuries are properly diagnosed and treated.
- Keep complete records: Organized documentation is crucial. Gather everything related to the accident—police reports, medical bills, repair estimates, insurance correspondence, and proof of lost wages—to help support your compensation claim.
- Say as little as possible about the accident: Be cautious when speaking about the incident, especially with the other party’s insurance company. To avoid unintentional harm to your case, let your attorney handle all communications on your behalf.
By following these guidelines and working closely with an experienced legal team, you can help ensure your rights are protected and your claim is as strong as possible.
