Belleville, MI Truck Accident Lawyer: Semi Truck Crash Attorneys

An experienced truck accident lawyer who specializes in these types crashes will do the following for your Belleville case:

• Preserve key evidence and keep the trucking companies from destroying it – Trucking companies are legally allowed to destroy critical evidence as soon as 90 days after your crash. This can ruin your case before it begins. That’s why it’s important to hire an experienced attorney who will serve the company with a “preservation of evidence/spoliation” letter or go to court to get a temporary restraining order to preserve the evidence of the trucking company’s negligence.
• Identify critical safety violations that led to your crash – Because the federal safety rules and regulations that apply to cases like yours are so complex, you need an experienced truck accident lawyer for your Belleville crash case who has studied and analyzed them hundreds of times in the cases that he or she has litigated. You need an attorney who knows exactly where to look and what to look for, and who has the ability to pinpoint specifically what rule and regulation violations caused or contributed to the crash that injured you or took the life of your loved one.
• Identify and hold accountable all at-fault parties – Trucking companies often create complex corporate entities to hide their responsibility for a crash. On top of that, they try to conceal both the multiple layers of insurance coverage they carry as well as the extent of their own financial assets. This is all done to avoid having to pay for the harms, losses and injuries their negligence has caused. An experienced truck accident lawyer who has handled these types of cases hundreds of times will know how to bring the responsible parties’ “financial secrets” to light so that you and your family receive the full compensation you are legally entitled to in your Belleville crash case.
• Prevent the trucking company and its attorneys from manipulating the litigation process to cover up negligence – Many trucking companies try to hide their egregious acts of negligence from the jury by waiting until the last minute before trial and then admitting their negligence. Their hope is that because the issue is no longer “contested” the victim’s attorney will be prevented from presenting evidence of the company’s negligent acts and omissions and its disregard for the safety regulations and the safety of other drivers with whom they share the road. Their goal is to prevent the jury from knowing just how wrong and inexcusable their conduct was which caused the crash in question. An experienced Belleville truck accident lawyer who specializes in litigating these cases will never let your case be undermined in this way. If the trucking company decides to admit early on that it was negligent, then that will likely lead to an early settlement or a trial that is focused exclusively on damages. But if the trucking company initially – and stubbornly – denies their negligence throughout depositions and the discovery process only to “flip flop” just before trial as a tactical maneuver, then your experienced attorney will use that contradiction as justification to prove the essential facts about the company’s negligence and, depending on the circumstances of the case, to prove that the trucking company’s conduct was malicious or willful and wanton enough to warrant exemplary damages.
• Get a much bigger, faster settlement for you and your family – An experienced Belleville truck accident lawyer who specializes in these cases will maximize your settlement and get it to you much faster than an attorney with less experience and skill. The insurance industry’s own data shows that crash victims represented by skilled attorneys are likely to get settlements up to 4x greater than those who hire just any attorney.
