The vast majority of truck accident crash cases settle. Even those cases in which a lawsuit has been filed will more than likely before the case gets to the jury.
Once your accident-related medical treatment has concluded, we assemble all of your medical records, medical bills, and proof of lost wages. We then send a demand package to the insurance company.
After about a month, an offer will likely be forthcoming. After negotiation, the parties will able to resolve the case, or, a lawsuit will need to be filed.
If the case does settle, a release will need to be signed which, in exchange for the settlement funds, the truck accident victim closes out the case against the responsible party. Keep in mind any settlement is not subject to either state of federal taxes.
