What kinds of vehicles are considered trucks?
Commercial trucks can be defined as any vehicle weighing 10,000 pounds or more transporting goods.

Who is liable if I am injured by a truck?
Depending on the circumstances, the driver alone could be liable, or the trucking company itself will need to be held accountable.

What should I do if I've been in an accident with a truck?
If there is any injury, you need to contact 911 immediately. Next, get all of the contact and vehicle information from the other driver and additional witnesses.

Will I need to wait for my insurance company to pay for medical care that I need?
You should never delay necessary medical care. You will not be expected to pay for all of your care up front. You may need to pay a deductible, but most doctors will work with you and your insurance company to collect the necessary payments after treatment has occurred.

What should I do if a truck driver has damaged my vehicle?
If another party damaged your vehicle, they are responsible for promptly paying you for that damage either personally or through their own insurance company. If they do not, you should contact Glick Law Firm, P.A. immediately.

Do I need a lawyer to handle my insurance claims?
Yes. Insurance companies don't make their money by paying high insurance claims. They have a history of underpaying their customers, and will generally pay the minimum amount they can get away with.
