Should I talk to the insurance company after a truck accident?

Answer 1

Answer:

Truck Accident Insurance Investigation We had a client in Tampa that was injured in a truck accident. On the phone when they called, they asked us, “Should I call the insurance company?” What we told them was to call their own insurance company right away and make a claim because you want to preserve that. You want to make a claim so that you can get into the hospital under the no-fault laws in Florida and go treat. However, with regard to the insurance carrier for the commercial truck, don’t take a statement. It’s too early in the case.

A lot of times, what the insurance carrier for these truck accidents want to do is box you in and try to settle the claim for as little as possible. One of the great benefits of hiring a trial attorney is that we will go and try to get maximum value on your case, but to do that takes time. Speaking with the insurance company for the commercial truck right away is oftentimes not a good idea and unfortunately puts you at a disadvantage.

We’d love to evaluate your case. Give us a call in the Tampa area.
