Truck Accident Lawyers

Serving Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven and Surrounding Areas

Dealing with insurance adjusters isn't as painful as recovering from injuries sustained in a semi-trailer accident, but it may seem like it. They can be very friendly and genuine, but they still work for the insurance company. The goal of any insurance adjuster is to make a quick settlement and save the insurance company as much money as possible.

Shortly after an accident with a semi-trailer, an insurance adjuster (and possibly a representative from the trucking company) will probably contact you. It is quite likely that the adjuster will want to review the facts of the accident and ask you additional questions. It is also quite likely that the adjuster will try to convince you that the accident was at least partly your fault. Be very careful. Connecticut state law does not require you to give an oral statement to the other party's insurance company. Do not admit fault .

Listen closely to what the adjuster says and note the questions you are asked. Then, let the adjuster know that you will have your attorney contact them regarding their concerns. If you have an experienced Hartford truck accident lawyer such as those at Trantolo & Trantolo, your lawyer will direct you throughout the entire claims process and deal directly with the other insurance company.
