Imagine you’re driving your beloved Jeep when suddenly an 18-wheeler – a massive, multi-million dollar trucking company's rig – backs into your vehicle. In this type of scenario, the impact isn’t just startling; it can cause significant property damage, as was the case for one potential client who experienced nearly $45,000 worth of damage. Although the client did not suffer any injuries, the collision left him facing serious financial concerns over an expensive vehicle repair.
In the aftermath of such an accident, many people initially focus their attention on recovering the cost of the damage. Here, the client’s primary goal was to force the responsible party to compensate for his Jeep’s damages. However, as the situation unfolded, he encountered a major stumbling block: many personal injury attorneys, including some he spoke with, primarily handle cases involving bodily injury. Consequently, his claim for property damage – while devastating in its own right – did not neatly fit the traditional personal injury mold.
During his conversation with an attorney, he explained his frustration about dealing with a large trucking company, where even the CEO seemed dismissive of the claim. Though he was understandably angry and determined to get the compensation required to repair his vehicle, he found himself stuck in a situation where legal professionals were more accustomed to personal injury cases than property damage claims.
While no physical injuries were sustained, the financial toll from the accident is still very real. Navigating a claim against a major trucking company can be challenging, especially when the adjustment process seems to favor the company’s interests rather than ensuring a fair payout for the damage incurred. Situations like this underscore the importance of having experienced legal help that understands the intricate negotiations and liability issues that come with collisions involving large commercial carriers.
