If you or someone you love is suffering because of a collision involving an 18-wheeled truck in Las Vegas or Reno, Nevada, you may know that you did nothing wrong, believe that the injuries and costs the accident caused are obvious, and be wondering why it matters which lawyer represents you.
A truck crash is not the same as a car accident. Often, 18-wheeler accidents can result in severe injuries, and it could take months or years to recover. And while car accidents only involve you and the other driver, trucking accidents can involve multiple parties. Our team at Cohan PLLC has spent years dealing with these issues and can get you the medical treatment and compensation for deserve.
Here are a few other reasons why a truck injury lawyer is beneficial for your trucking accident claim.
Trucking Companies Regularly Deny Responsibility
Because there are thousands of trucking accidents annually, trucking companies understand the best strategies for denying responsibility and avoiding the costs associated with crashes caused by their 18-wheel truck drivers. Most trucking companies will have their representatives on the scene of an accident within hours or minutes, and they will begin to collect evidence in an attempt to reduce any claim you may have against them.
Our truck accident attorneys have the experience you need to go up against large trucking and insurance companies. Large corporations own semi-trucks and may try to settle with you quickly, which could jeopardize any settlement to which you’re entitled. They retain the best attorneys to protect their interests in such claims, so you need to have experienced lawyers who will represent your interests. When you’re injured as the result of the negligence of a semi-truck operator, receiving the compensation you deserve is far too important to leave to chance. You need a Cohan PLLC 18-wheeler truck accident lawyer on your side in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada.
