Were You Hurt in a Truck Accident?

You can technically represent yourself, but it’s not a good idea. Truck accident cases are highly complex. They usually involve multiple parties trying to protect their own interests, but they all want to prevent you from getting the full compensation you deserve. However, a truck accident law firm like Peter N. Davis & Associates can give you the best shot at maximum compensation.

Negligence refers to when a person or group of people act carelessly, that act causes an accident, and that accident directly results in you getting injured. For example, after a truck accident, the trucking company, the driver, the maintenance crew, the loading and cargo company, and even the parts manufacturers could be held responsible for a negligent act that led to the accident. An experienced Lodi, New Jersey truck accident lawyer can help you determine all parties who should be held accountable for your accident.

In New Jersey, the statute of limitations, or the time frame you have to file your lawsuit for compensation, is two years from the date of the accident.

Every case is unique and different. However, your best chance of success and receiving maximum compensation is by contacting an expert truck accident attorney.

No! You should never sign anything the insurance company offers, or anything at all, for that matter, without first talking it over with your truck accident lawyers. If you do, you could sign away your right to more compensation.

Having a police report is an essential aid in seeking your maximum possible compensation. It can also be a vital tool for helping you recall the details of your accident, as you will need to tell your story multiple times throughout the case. While we pursue compensation for your injuries, it will be crucial to keep everything consistent, and a police report can serve as your best point of reference.

The negotiations process is typically a delicate back-and-forth between our firm and the insurance company of the other party involved in your accident. Once we’ve reviewed every detail of your case, we will add up your losses to calculate a settlement demand. We will then begin negotiations with the insurance company on your behalf until we agree on a fair amount.

Many truck accident claims don’t proceed to court because they get resolved through negotiations between the involved parties before reaching that point. However, a trial can become necessary if the opposing parties cannot settle on a fair amount.
