Trucks and SUV wrecks can be complicated. Moreover, large vehicle accidents can often cause especially serious harm and injury.
Failure to act quickly is often the downfall of people who have been involved in vehicular accidents. The Kansas City auto truck accident attorneys of Martin & Wallentine want to help you make the right choices about your injury and your claim. Chances are good that the insurance company for the defendant will call you within days of an accident. Failure to have the right information available for the insurance company, saying the wrong thing or providing the wrong information may hurt your chances of receiving a fair settlement later.

Our job is to make things right for our clients. In truck wreck accident cases, building successful cases includes a meticulous attention to detail. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Was the accident reported quickly to the police? Did you obtain a full and complete copy of the police or accident report? Often, they only provide the front cover rather than the full report, unless you make an open records request or subpoena them. Did you obtain prompt and complete medical treatment and testing? Was an adequate investigation done at the scene of the collision to find clues that will help later in proving your case? Were good photographs taken of the scene, the vehicles involved and the injuries you suffered? Has a proper and thorough estimate been made of the damage to your vehicle? Have all the witnesses been identified and spoken to? Are there other types of claims that may exist due to the fact there was a vehicular collision? Should a claim be made against the other driver's employer? What rights may you have against your own insurance company if the other driver is uninsured or if the other driver has too little insurance to fully compensate you for your injuries and losses? This may involve underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage. What do I do when the insurance company wants me to sign something? In truck accidents, was the truck driver following all the proper regulations?
Let us help you deal with the legal issues surrounding your truck wreck.
