Retain a Truck Accident Lawyer to Build a Strong Claim
Building a strong claim following a wreck with a big truck involves many steps. Each of these steps must be done well and with a deep understanding of Indiana law. Otherwise, valuable opportunities to maximize financial compensation may be missed. Or, the claim may buckle under pressure from the insurance company on the other side of the claim.
When you work with a Michigan City attorney from Lerner and Rowe, we will do everything we can to strengthen your personal injury claim. We begin strengthening your claim by following this process:
- Listening to your story and assisting with the collection of supportive documentation
- Reviewing video footage of the truck collision
- Interviewing witnesses who saw what happened that day
- Getting expert opinions on how your injuries may affect you for the rest of your life and using this advice to calculate how much financial compensation you’re owed
- Adding in all economic and non-economic damages to your total financial compensation
- Negotiating with the insurance company and focusing on one thing- standing up to those tough insurance companies who do everything they can to lowball your settlement
A strong claim has the best chance at receiving financial compensation to help cover medical bills, lost wages, and more following a truck collision. Rely on Lerner and Rowe to do this for you.
