In many cases, the trucking company is willing to take responsibility for their dangerous actions, and injured people take home a settlement check without ever stepping foot in a court room.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when the people who caused the crash refuse to offer you the financial support you deserve, you have the option to sue. When this happens, your case could go to trial, meaning a judge and jury determines how much your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering are worth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how often do semi-truck accident claims go to trial? And what does it mean when they do? Keep reading to learn more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Semi-Truck Claims and Lawsuit Process Works<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a crash, injured people can file a claim with the trucking company\u2019s insurance carrier. You\u2019ll work with a claims adjuster to record the details of the crash, the extent of your injuries, and other details. However, the insurance adjuster works for the company, not you. Their job is to settle your claim as quickly and cheaply as they can, not provide you with legal advice about how to maximize the value of your claim. Be very careful working with these people. In fact, it\u2019s in your best interest to contact an attorney before making any kind of official statement that could put your claim at risk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve filed an insurance claim, you and your <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/truck-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20486\">Mobile truck accident lawyer<\/a> will go back and forth with the company. At this point in the process, your lawyer will clearly outline the value of your claim, and demand a settlement that covers your medical costs, lost wages, and other expenses. The insurance company will have an opportunity to do the right thing and offer you a fair amount. You can choose to accept that amount, which would be the end of your case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they refuse to offer a fair settlement, you and your attorney can decide whether you want to sue the trucking company and any other liable parties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/defective-parts-a-hidden-cause-of-alabama-truck-crashes\/\"><strong>Defective Parts: A Hidden Cause of Alabama Truck Crashes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. File a Complaint to Initiate the Lawsuit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you and your attorney decide to file a personal injury lawsuit against the trucking company (and anyone else that could be held accountable), they will begin the lawsuit process by filing a legal document called a complaint against the wrong doer. This document describes the crash and how you were hurt and tells the wrong doer that you\u2019re suing them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Gather Information in the Discovery Phase<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the discovery phase, both sides have the opportunity to gather facts, evidence, testimony, and other useful information. This can include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Witness testimony<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Sworn statements (also called depositions)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Compiling relevant documents like travel logs or emails<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you work with an attorney, they\u2019ll handle the information-gathering process for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Consider Mediation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are open to resolving your lawsuit before it goes to trial, you and your attorney can try and work out a settlement in mediation. In mediation, an impartial mediator is in the room to manage the interaction and help the conversation go smoothly using negotiation and communication techniques. If you come to an agreement, you case is settled, and you don\u2019t have to go to trial.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not unusual for many cases to settle without having to set foot in a courtroom. However, if mediation doesn\u2019t go well, and you\u2019ve exhausted all your other options, your case can head to trial.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Your Semi-Truck Case Goes to Trial<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In trial, a judge and jury will decide if the people or companies you\u2019re suing are responsible for your injuries and other damages, and how much they owe you as a result. There are risks with going to trial\u2014the jury could decide that you aren\u2019t owed as much as your attorney says you are. However, can give yourself the best chance at winning when you work with a lawyer that thrives in a trial setting and has a long track record of successful verdicts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys, we\u2019re proud of our winning reputation.
