Addressing Insurance Issues Related to Your Trucking Accident
Even the best auto insurance may not provide the full compensation you need following a trucking accident. Our job is to find ways to ensure you receive the money you need to move on to the next phase of your life. Too many challenges face trucking accident victims. They don't need to deal with financial concerns following an accident that happened through no fault of their own.
The difference in size of cash settlements in commercial truck cases are potentially much larger than auto to auto accidents generally for two reasons: the destruction of the automobile and the size of the insurance policy involved. You know that your personal auto policy is sometimes as low as the Alaska state mandatory minimum limits of $50,000.00. When there is a commercial vehicle, such as a company van, company pick-up, tow trucks, etc., the policies of insurance coverage are usually much larger and you can be fairly and fully compensated when the driver is negligent.
