Truck Accidents

The average car weighs in the neighborhood of 3,000 pounds.  Now imagine that car colliding with a semi-truck or other commercial vehicle weighing between 10,000 and 80,000 pounds.  Given the enormity of this difference in size, it is not difficult to grasp the likelihood that the occupants of the car will suffer serious injury from an accident with a truck.  US Department of Transportation statistics show that on average someone is injured or killed every 16 minutes in a semi-tractor-trailer or other large truck accident.

The owner/insured on these vehicles is more often than not a commercial business, municipality, state or county governmental entity - not your typical defendant.  Specific rules and filing requirements must be followed in order to preserve your claim against such a defendant.  This defendant is well-versed in challenging and disputing claims of negligence from a truck accident.  The insurance company holding the policy for this defendant is likewise well-versed in fighting claims of negligence that resulted in your accident and injuries.  What's worse is the insurance company could attempt to pressure you into early settlement, outright deny your claim, or attempt to limit or restrict the medical treatment they will cover. 

At Park Chenaur, it's not our first time at the rodeo either.  Park Chenaur injury and accident attorneys know the rules and filing requirements to secure your claim and preserve your rights.  Park Chenaur injury and accident attorneys will enter the ring on your behalf to quickly get you the compensation you deserve.
