In this situation, having solid legal counsel on your side is essential.
TRUCK ACCIDENTS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC INJURIES
While truckers navigate a hazardous vehicle on their journey, they are often fatigued due to extended hours of driving. This is further exacerbated by the fact that some trucking companies neglect proper maintenance of vehicles which increases the chances of collisions. When negligence leads to an accident, victims have legal rights and can pursue financial compensation for damages incurred.

Our Missoula Truck Accident Attorneys Reveal the Significance of Negligence
Our Missoula truck accident attorneys will be determined to ascertain who is responsible when constructing a case in association with a truck crash. This relies on identifying and assigning negligence, which most of the time lies with the driver of said vehicle. Examples include DUI driving, drowsy or fatigue-induced driving that surpasses recommended hours of service as well as distractedness behind the wheel due to cellphone usage or exposure to media while operating the automobile. At Strong Law, our truck accident attorneys will thoroughly investigate the details of your case to determine who is liable. The trucking company may also be at fault if they require drivers to drive when exhausted or for extended hours beyond mandated regulations, or neglect their vehicles’ maintenance. When these rules are violated and cause an accident, both the driver and company can be held accountable – in fact, oftentimes it’s a combination of negligence from both parties that results in an incident! We’ll leverage this knowledge to hold those responsible for their irresponsibility!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OKC TRUCK ACCIDENTS
If you have questions after a truck accident, getting the right answers is important. Our truck accident lawyers in Missoula have heard many questions and are ready to provide the answers.
Should I file a claim after a truck accident?
After a truck accident, it is essential for injury victims to contact an Missoula truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. Insurance companies are eager to offer seemingly generous settlements that appear equitable on paper but do not cover the extensive damages suffered in such accidents. Victims of these types of incidents should receive compensation not just for the medical costs associated with their injuries, but also those related to drastic changes in their lifestyle and quality of life.
How are truck accidents different from car accidents?
Trucks are far heavier than passenger vehicles, and this means they can cause far more destruction than a passenger vehicle crash. Both physical injuries, including fatalities, and property damage are a high risk in truck accidents. Truck accidents also differ in responsibility. Not only can drivers be liable for the accident, but so can trucking companies, truck manufacturers, and truck owners.
What is the cause of most truck accidents?
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, drivers are the leading cause of truck accidents. In fact, as many as 87% of crashes are due to drivers, with 38% being due to decisions drivers make. Only 10% of the crashes reported to the FMCSA were due to problems with the vehicle.
What should victims do if the trucking company calls?
Trucking companies or their insurance providers often call victims to attempt to make a cash settlement after a crash. Victims need to know that they do not have an obligation to talk to either of these parties. In fact, doing so can be damaging to your case. Always consult with your Missoula truck accident attorney if you receive one of these calls.
Should I take a settlement after a truck accident?
Insurance companies often offer large cash settlements to injury victims. Before accepting, make sure you understand why they do this. The large amount quickly appeals to an injury victim who is facing big bills, but it’s often far less than they deserve. Only with the help of a truck accident attorney can you be certain that you are getting full, adequate compensation for all of your losses.
Truck accidents have far-reaching consequences that go beyond your immediate medical needs. Some of the types of compensation you can seek after a truck accident include:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical bills
- Loss of income
- Loss of working ability
- Therapy and medical care in the future
- Punitive damages.
In addition, if the truck accident caused a death, the victim’s family may be eligible to claim loss of companionship as part of their claim. With so many options on the table, it’s clear that you need the guidance of our Missoula truck accident lawyers in the days ahead.

«¡Un trabajo increíble!»
Tuve una reclamación que involucraba a mi propia compañía de seguros. Intenté negociar con ellos y rechazaron por completo mi reclamación, dos veces. Luego contraté a Strong Law y el cambio fue instantáneo. La compañía de seguros comenzó a negociar de inmediato y Jed pudo conseguir un acuerdo increíblemente bueno. Nunca volveré a intentar contratar una compañía de seguros sin contar con Strong Law de mi lado. ¡Gracias!»

¿Cuál es el valor de mi caso?
El valor de un caso de lesiones depende de muchos factores relacionados con el alcance de sus lesiones y cualquier otra pérdida asociada con su reclamación. Es posible que tenga facturas médicas, pérdida de ingresos, costos asociados con el dolor y el sufrimiento, entre otros posibles daños. Para conocer el posible valor de su caso, comuníquese con el equipo de Strong Law. En un evaluación gratuita de casos, le haremos saber cuánto puede valer su caso.
¿Cuáles son sus horarios?
Strong Law está abierto cinco días a la semana entre las 9 a.m. y las 5 p.m. Además, ofrecemos llamadas de vuelta fuera del horario de atención, llamadas de fin de semana y chat en línea.
¿Qué tipos de casos son lesiones personales?
Llámenos para saberlo con certeza, pero una buena regla general es cuando le ha ocurrido un «accidente» debido a los actos o fechorías de otra persona. Algunos ejemplos son: los accidentes automovilísticos, los accidentes de motocicletas, los accidentes de semirremolques, la muerte por negligencia médica, los resbalones, tropiezos y caídas, los accidentes de navegación, los equipos defectuosos, el maltrato en hogares de ancianos y muchos otros.
¿Se me cobrará por consultarlo o hablar con usted?
No, nunca. Strong Law es una firma de lesiones personales de contingencia que ofrece experiencia especializada y acceso cuando lo necesita. Nuestro objetivo es obtener el mejor acuerdo y brindar comodidad en el proceso, por lo que el fácil acceso a nosotros es parte de nuestras mejores prácticas.
¿Qué significa contingencia?
En un asunto legal, la contingencia significa un gasto para el cliente basado en el resultado de un evento o circunstancia futura que es posible pero que no se puede predecir con certeza. Dicho de otra manera, a Strong Law solo se le paga si su caso se resuelve.
¿Me pueden dar una evaluación de mi caso?
Absolutamente. Si bien no podemos garantizar nada ni pretendemos llegar a un acuerdo, nuestra disposición a aceptar su caso (y hacerlo en caso de contingencia) es nuestra voz para decir que creemos que su caso tiene un gran mérito. Después de hablar con usted, podemos proporcionarle una evaluación de méritos por teléfono. Sin embargo, le advertimos que aceptar su caso no promete nada, sino que su resultado se refleja en el bufete de abogados que elija.
¿Qué debo hacer si tengo problemas, como si su compañía de seguros me estuviera llamando?
Consiga siempre un abogado primero. Si se inscribe en Strong Law ahora, puede informar a su compañía de seguros de que tiene representación y darles nuestro nombre e información de contacto. A partir de ese momento, no deberían volver a ponerse en contacto con usted; es la ley. Si no firma con un abogado, como Strong Law, tendrá que hablar con él y representarse a sí mismo para resolver su lesión. Instamos encarecidamente a no hacerlo; las compañías de seguros están capacitadas para garantizar sus mejores intereses por encima de los suyos.
¿Cuáles son las razones más comunes por las que se deniega el seguro por lesiones?
Asegúrese de recibir tratamiento médico lo antes posible después de un accidente; de lo contrario, el seguro podría argumentar que su dolor se debe a un incidente no relacionado. Las compañías de seguros harán todo lo posible por encontrar alguna prueba de que el accidente fue culpa suya. No se deje intimidar. Si tiene afecciones médicas preexistentes que lo hacen más propenso a sufrir una lesión, no es raro que las agencias de seguros rechacen las reclamaciones por este motivo.
¿Cuánto tiempo lleva resolver un caso?
Depende de muchos factores, como la atención médica, las necesidades futuras, las pruebas, la prueba de responsabilidad y muchos otros. Algunos casos llevan meses, mientras que otros pueden durar un par de años. En última instancia, nuestro objetivo es representarlo y lo que será mejor para usted a largo plazo.
¿Por qué los casos pueden durar años?
Porque la ley lo dicta. Hay muchos niveles para garantizar que las compañías de seguros lo traten con una atención óptima. Por ejemplo, dedicarás tiempo a los tratamientos médicos que puedas necesitar. Hay tiempo para recopilar los informes médicos necesarios y descubrir cualquier impacto a largo plazo que esta lesión pueda tener en su vida actual y futura. Hay tiempo para que la otra parte revise nuestras demandas, investigue y también responda. Puede parecer mucho tiempo, pero cumplimos con la ley y elaboramos estrategias para obtener el mejor beneficio para usted. Estamos con usted todo el tiempo.
