The long-term effects of commercial vehicle auto accident injuries can be devastating. Physical and emotional injuries can take months, years or never fully resolve. Our attorneys will work hard for you and your family to ensure you’re fully compensated for everything you’ve endured.
Missouri Commercial Truck Accidents Aren't Your Typical Fender-Fenders
These crashes often involve serious injuries, extensive vehicle damage, and a long list of potentially liable parties that can include trucking companies with powerful legal teams. Sadly, the more losses you’ve suffered, the harder you can expect a trucking company to fight to avoid paying. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place for help.
The auto insurance companies of these commercial vehicles may offer a quick and easy settlement, but you should know that is always going to be a lowball offer. If you don’t have an experienced commercial vehicle accident attorney on your side, you won’t know what is a lowball offer and what is fair value. It’s like trying to sell your car if you don’t know what it is truly worth… you have no way to know if an offer is reasonable.
