Truck Accident Lawyer
Injury lawyers serving Kentucky and Indiana
The trucking industry is heavily relied upon by many businesses to deliver their products on time. The high demand from these companies on drivers to make strict deadlines, ignores safety rules and regulations that can lead to driver fatigue and devastating truck accidents.
Unfortunately, in trucking accidents it is most often the driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash who gets hurt. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that three-quarters of all injuries and deaths in truck accidents were the occupants of another vehicle. More than 82 percent of large truck accidents in the country involve more than one vehicle, making them incredibly dangerous for the occupants of the other cars involved.

Protect Yourself
There are several steps you can take after being involved in a Kentucky or Indiana truck accident to protect your rights:
Do NOT make a statement to an insurance adjustor or sign anything. You may be signing away your future rights to compensation.
Take photographs of your vehicle and the scene of the truck accident, if at all possible.
See your doctor. You have the right to choose your own doctor. Do not let the insurance adjustor choose one for you.
Call your insurance company. Any delays in reporting the Kentucky or Indiana truck accident could hurt your case.
Talk to witnesses and take note of any comments like, "that truck was flying," or "the truck driver ran a red light." Write down contact information just in case you go to trial.
Keep a journal over time to keep track of how your injuries affect your life. It may be difficult to remember six or seven months later how painful it was to do something as simple as tie your shoes. An insurance adjustor may try to say you are exaggerating your injuries.
Keep records of prescriptions, medical bills, and related costs, such as having the lawn mowed or other household chores you can no longer do because of your truck accident injuries.
