If you do not select Gordon & Elias as your truck accident lawyers, you could lose twice.
No car can face off against a truck in an accident. It is a losing proposition that often results in serious injuries to the driver and their passengers. If a truck driver acted negligently and caused the accident, you need to hire a dedicated truck accident attorney. It may mean the difference between receiving tens of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars. Retaining just any personal injury lawyer and not a truck accident law firm is a serious and costly mistake.
Trucking Accident Litigators Holding Trucking Companies Accountable
Everyone feels pressure at their job. Truck drivers are no different. They work long hours and are often pressured by their employer to go above and beyond what they can handle and what the law will allow. That results in shortcuts that amount to nothing more than negligence. Drivers are required to adhere to regulations. When they fall short, a trucking company can be held liable for the negligence of its drivers.

Securing Compensation From Large Truck Insurance Policies
The difference in size of cash settlements in commercial truck cases are usually larger than cars simply because of the size of the insurance policy. Your coverage is sometimes as low as the Rhode Island state mandatory minimum limits require which are $25,000. Conversely, a commercial truck usually carries policies of insurance coverage with much higher limits. Simply put, you can be fairly and fully compensated for the negligence caused by another driver.
