HOW TO HANDLE A TRUCK ACCIDENT

Attorney Representation in Minnesota Since 1975

When cars and trucks collide, it is the former that typically is the worse for wear.

In the event you have been in an accident with a commercial truck, do you know where to go for legal help?

With a Minnesota personal injury attorney in your corner, you improve your odds of being properly financially compensated for any injuries and/or damages to your vehicle.

He or she can assist you in getting your side of the case brought in front of the court, demonstrating that you in fact were not at fault in the accident.

In looking for a personal injury attorney in Minnesota, you want one who has experience in trying such cases, knowing pretty much what kind of defense the other side will present.

STEPS TO REPORTING A TRUCK ACCIDENT

Once you have selected the best available personal injury attorney to represent you, make sure to provide them with the following pertinent information:

  • Time and location of the accident. Also provide weather conditions if they factored into the incident; Any statements (backing your version of events) from anyone having witnessed the accident. There may also be video from cameras in the area showing the accident as it unfurled;
  • Any evidence to show that the commercial truck had a faulty part or parts (brakes, tires etc.) that led to the accident;
  • Any injuries you suffered (including any doctors believe may be long-term), along with an approximate figure of medical bills. Also, was anyone else in the vehicle with you at the time of the accident? If so, provide the same information for them;
  • Estimated repair costs to your vehicle.

In the event you are representing a loved one killed in an accident involving a commercial truck, you may be able to make a claim for the wrongful death and the resulting damages.

When the time comes to call a Minnesota attorney, make the right call the first time around.
