Accidents with commercial trucks are about as scary as they come. No matter what kind of private vehicle you’re driving, chances are good that it isn’t larger than a tractor-trailer. The sheer force of an impact with a truck of that size is enough to destroy passenger vehicles and cause personal injury or even fatalities to their occupants. Likewise, when two commercial trucks collide, the possibility of serious injury or death increases.
You have enough to worry about following a crash with a commercial truck. From medical bills to insurance claims to recovering from your injuries, your life suddenly becomes busy and inconvenient. At The Cagle Law Firm, we would suggest you prioritize one task after seeking medical attention: calling us to talk to a truck accident lawyer in Springfield, IL.
Why? Because we seek justice and compensation for the damages you have suffered. Negligent truck accidents that leave you with grievous bodily injuries and destroyed property should never go unanswered. Insurance carriers for transportation companies employ professionals such as lawyers, so you will need assistance if you are seriously hurt. Furthermore, most injured people absolutely need a monetary settlement, if only for all the medical bills you are likely to accrue as your injuries are treated.

If you decide you want to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the trucking company that is ultimately responsible for your accident, you may find multiple factors working against you. Trucking companies have insurance companies that work hard to minimize losing significant amounts of money, even when there is coverage. These companies will also be staffed with lawyers and adjusters who will defend them. These parties should be familiar with federal trucking regulations. Knowing those federal regulations and state laws are bedrock principles at The Cagle Law Firm.
This is why you will want a Springfield truck accident attorney on your side. Having a Cagle lawyer in your corner, one who knows the law as well as your opponent gives you a real chance to win your lawsuit.
Winning any lawsuit comes down to proving whether a driver or transportation company failed to be safe or was negligent. Proving fault in a truck accident–for instance, with a truck driver failure-to-stop incident–will require a lawyer who knows how to work through the facts and determine what occurred. Being able to interpret details and collect evidence to support that claim is part of a personal injury lawyer’s job. This will be one of the greatest benefits of working with an attorney for your truck accident.
While it’s true you don’t always need a lawyer to file a lawsuit, you will likely want to hire one for the negotiating skills and expertise that the lawyer brings to the table. If you are bringing a commercial case, you absolutely should not do that on your own. It is not a do-it-yourself kind of case where you simply gather information online; Negotiating is everything from proving liability (or fault) to assessing and arguing your present and future medical needs. If you don’t have a truck accident attorney in Springfield, IL, working with you, then the opposition may attempt to take advantage and not pay you what you are owed. Hiring a Cagle lawyer positions you to receive a rightful monetary award for all you have suffered.
Truck accidents can change your life instantly, requiring you to see doctor after doctor for years to be treated for injuries. At The Cagle Law Firm, we don’t want to see a trucking insurance company get away with cheating you on fair compensation.
When you need a Springfield truck accident lawyer to start working for you, call The Cagle Law Firm. We won’t stop fighting until we win.
