How to Maximize Your Truck Accident Settlement

To maximize the settlement for trucking accidents, there’s a few things that you can do. First and foremost, is treating. Treating is going to allow us as attorneys to understand what happened, what harm have you suffered. Diagnoses are key to understanding what the treatment plan is. If you fracture your wrist, if you have a sprain or strain, or if you have herniations and more serious injuries, you’re going to want to have that diagnosed at the outset. That’s done through going to the doctor, talking with medical providers, and getting diagnostic treatment that you need. Once you have the diagnostic treatment, it doesn’t stop there. You need to continue to get that treatment until you feel better. A soft tissue injury versus a herniation is a very different treatment trajectory. Physical therapy isn’t going to heal a herniation. Injections and surgery may. And you don’t know that until you go to the medical providers and you’re getting the treatment. You could just go and say, you’re getting put in front of the best providers. You’re going to get the best advice from doctors who know what they’re doing and aren’t just there to make a quick buck. They want to know how to make you better and how to make you feel better. Treatment is key. Doing that immediately after the crash is important. There is some apprehension to believe if somebody’s hurt if they’re waiting months and weeks to get treatment. Life happens, work gets in the way, but if you’re really seriously hurt, you’re going to take the time and prioritize getting better and getting in front of those doctors to make sure that you’re put on the path to recovery.
