Truck Accident
“DENY, DELAY, DISTRACT.” Deny The first thing the insurance company usually does in cases like this, is if they can find any reason however small to deny the claim they will. They will go as far “manufacturing” facts to change the story of what happened. If you have been in a truck accident in San Diego you definitely need a lawyer that has experience with trucking cases. Delay The second thing they do is delay. They do this to tire you out, so you could settle your claim for less. They also do this in the hopes to financially drain you or your attorney so you would accept less on your case. We have experience with these cases and know how to litigate them. It is extremely crucial that all of the evidence be preserved as close as possible to when the events took place. This includes preserving what is called the ESI units.
An ESI unit is the electronic unit on each truck, sort of like a black box that usually collects and stores data when a crash takes place between a truck and another vehicle. Its important to hire experts, such as an accident re-constructionist to go out there and take photographs of the scene and take accurate measurements to be able to recreate the accident. If you’ve been in a trucking accident, these claims can take up to 2 years or longer, and you certainly need an attorney who has experience with these cases and is willing to go toe to toe with the insurance companies. Distract The final thing they do is distract. They do this by hiring paid experts and doctors who they have used a number of times in the past and essentially a lot of them are on their payroll to give “opinions” based on the facts. The same facts that they “manufactured” or changed so it would fit into their narrative.
