Common misconceptions in Texas Truck Accident cases
Most people involved in truck accidents in Texas believe they can negotiate with the insurance companies on their own.
This is one of the major mistakes we see when handling Texas truck accident cases.
The insurance companies have declared war on injured people. They write letters to injured people trying to convince them not to hire an attorney. They claim that the injured person will not get as much money if they hire an attorney. But the insurance company for the trucking company always hires a team of lawyers.
Isn't it suspicious that they hire a bunch of lawyers but don't want the injured person to hire his or her own lawyer?
Trucking companies and their insurance companies also have spent millions and millions of dollars trying to tamper with juries and lower the amount of verdicts in truck accident cases. This propaganda has had an enormous effect on jury verdicts in Texas truck accident cases.
As a result of these developments, people injured in Texas truck accident must have experienced and aggressive legal representation to get a full and fair settlement. Simply put, you are almost certain to get an inadequate settlement without an experienced Texas truck accident attorney because the trucking company and insurance company know they can take advantage of an injured person much more easily if they do not have to deal with an experienced, aggressive attorney.
Why? Because an experienced Texas truck accident attorney will know what cases like your have settled for in the past, or what juries have given in the past when truck accident cases have gone to Court. And the experienced truck accident attorney will be ready, willing, and able to take the negligent truck company to Court if the trucking company or its insurance company doesn't make a fair and adequate settlement offer.
The V&B approach
Our approach is fundamentally different from most Texas truck accident law firms. Unlike most firms, we immediately file a lawsuit and obtain the earliest possible trial setting. We immediately begin collecting evidence and witnesses to use in Court.
And we press your case to trial from the very beginning.
Some law firms will wait to file suit, hoping that the truck company or insurance company will offer a fair settlement. In our experience, this approach almost never works (there are a few exceptions, but they are few and far between). Insurance companies will delay and deny and avoid payment until they are looking at an impending trial date with a lawyer who is not afraid to take them to trial.
Being involved in a truck accident can have serious and life-changing ramifications for the victim. The trucking companies and their insurance companies have experienced, well-trained defense lawyers who are trained to minimize the value of your case and pay you as little as possible. You should also have your own experienced, aggressive truck accident attorney.
