I feel I don’t need an attorney because the truck company offered me a settlement right away. What benefit is there to hiring an attorney?

Insurance companies that represent truckers and/or trucking companies have one goal in mind: To settle your case as quickly as possible and for as little money as possible. The amount offered to you by the trucking company may represent a mere fraction of the expenses and losses you will experience as a result of your injuries. This, unfortunately, does not concern the truck company or its insurance carrier. Before you agree to accept a settlement, visit with an experienced attorney who can help you better understand what compensation you will need moving forward.
