Determined and Relentless Representation

Rogers Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck accidents can lead to serious injuries. If you have been in such an unfortunate event, it is best to immediately consult a Rogers truck accident lawyer. Rogers AR sees a heavy load of interstate traffic on its highways every day. This traffic includes a significant portion of 18-wheelers and semi-trucks. While it contributes significantly to the city’s economy, it also poses significant hazards for drivers on the road.

Truck drivers typically tend to drive fast, being paid by the mile. This can lead to fatal mistakes on their part. In almost all collisions between a truck and a car, the car will incur the damage. Injuries for a car driver can include whiplash, spinal cord damage, brain trauma, and more.

If you have suffered a crash of this kind, you may qualify for compensation. This is why you must consult a truck accident lawyer. Rogers AR residents can reach out to us at Jason M. Hatfield P.A. Law Office. Our truck accident attorneys specialize in formulating compensation claims for the victims of truck accidents. We work closely with you to bring together the relevant evidence and build a strong claims case. Professional legal help will significantly improve your odds of winning the claim and getting the compensation you deserve.

What Should I Do After A Truck Accident?

If you’ve been in a truck accident, your first concern should be your safety. Get yourself and any other car passengers to a safe position as soon as possible. If possible, move the car so that it is not in the path of the traffic. Wait for emergency services to arrive and make sure you receive medical treatment.

Sometimes, seemingly minor injuries hide more serious internal injuries. You may not notice it at the time, but your health might suffer later. Even if you feel that you have minor injuries, you must not refuse emergency medical treatment. Insurance and trucking companies can later hold this against you.

Once you are safe, make photos or videos of the scene of the accident. Again, do this only if you can safely do so without taking any risks. Your first concern at the time should be your own safety and wellbeing.

Should I Claim Truck Accident Compensation?

You likely qualify for compensation if the accident was not caused by your mistake. However, the insurance and trucking companies will rebut your claim if you go at it alone. This is because these companies hire seasoned attorneys to represent their case. These attorneys work tirelessly to prove that your claim is false. Alternatively, they may try to shift the blame elsewhere to avoid paying compensation. This is why you will need similar legal help on your side. It is important to hire a Rogers truck accident lawyer before you file a claim.

Why Do I Need A Rogers Truck Accident Lawyer?

A car accident attorney builds your compensation claim from the ground up. You have better odds of receiving the compensation you deserve if you can provide evidence. A professional lawyer guides and assists you in gathering this evidence from police reports, eyewitnesses, the scene of the accident, and other sources.

The case investigation also covers checking the truck driver’s logs as well as truck maintenance records. An attorney further determines whether or not the driver was following traffic rules at the time of the accident.

Every truck accident case is unique, with its own set of circumstances. A qualified attorney works with you and the specific circumstances of your case. He examines your medical records and understands your injuries. He then determines the party at fault and files the compensation claim against that party. All of this greatly improves your chances of receiving fair compensation. It also makes it likely that your claim will be approved soon without unnecessary delays.

Does Truck Accident Compensation Cover Medical Bills?

Truck accident compensation covers all the medical expenses caused by the accident. These include the immediate cost of medical bills as well as the long-term medical care costs. The claim covers wage loss as well if you’re unable to work for a period after the accident. It also includes compensation for disability, disfigurement or scarring on visible parts of the body. In more serious accidents, the claim also caters to the mental anguish and pain you suffer.

Not all car accident cases are created equal. Here at the law office of Jason M. Hatfield, P.A., our attorneys have backgrounds in pre-medicine and microbiology. This makes us uniquely positioned to assist you with matters related to both law and medicine. We work with you to understand the nature of your injuries. Based on this deep understanding, we formulate a claim that fairly compensates you for your suffering.

How Do I Pay A Truck Accident Lawyer?

You don’t need to pay anything initially. We understand that you’ve been through an accident. This means unexpected medical bills, loss of wages, and emotional stress. So we work with you on a contingency basis. In other words, we get paid only when you successfully receive compensation. This ensures that anyone can seek legal representation after a car accident. It also guarantees that your attorneys are going to do their best on your behalf.
