Being involved in an accident with a big truck or commercial vehicle is often confusing, especially when it comes to filing an insurance claim. Sometimes, a police report will list the driver of the truck, the leasing company, the owner of the trailer, and finally, an insurance company you have never heard of. What do you do?
When we receive a case involving a big truck or commercial vehicle, we immediately get to work researching the parties involved. One of our first calls is to the at-fault insurance company in order to begin evaluating whether they are taking responsibility for the accident, and for the fault of the truck driver. At the same time, we may also request information from the owner of the truck and its driver to make sure the information is matching up.
Ultimately, the insurance claim will be filed with the truck’s insurance company. However, if the insurance company is denying responsibility for the driver’s actions, further investigation is needed in order to protect our clients’ claims.
