5 Tips to Protect Your Legal Rights
- Don’t discuss your case with a Werner representative, or with the company’s insurance provider. You might say something that could hurt your case. You should simply give these people your attorney’s contact information. Once you tell them you have an attorney, they can’t hassle you anymore.
- If possible, get names and addresses of witnesses at the scene. Police and state patrol reports have witness information, but there are situations where the investigating officer did not get witness information.
- If possible, take pictures of the scene and of injuries. These case be used to help build a winning case.
- Hire your own attorney to both investigate your crash and help you get compensation, and get one with experience winning these kinds of cases.
- Do not discuss your case on social media sites.
Motorcycles, Bicycles and Commercial Trucks
Motorcyclists and bicyclists are particularly vulnerable to being critically and fatally injured in an accident with a commercial truck. Truck drivers need to watch for these people, who have a right to be on the road. When weather permits, Fred Pritzker, one of our lead lawyers in these cases, rides his bike to work.
He uses his experience as a cycling commuter and former racer to help him successfully represent cyclists hit by a commercial truck.
