South Central Pennsylvania Truck Accident Attorney
Truck Accident Lawyer in Cumberland, Dauphin & York Counties
Unfortunately, hundreds of serious trucking and tractor trailer accidents take place in South Central Pennsylvania each year. If you are injured by a truck or tractor trailer in a collision or crash, you will quickly find yourself in a serious situation that significantly affects your vehicle, your person and often your livelihood. Serious injuries and/or death occur in truck and tractor trailer accident cases. These accidents are often complex and the actual event may have varying points of view regarding its cause. Descriptions of accidents can vary widely from person to person. Often it is necessary to hire an accident reconstructionist or a tractor trailer expert right after the accident to investigate the cause and examine evidence. Often, an examination of the responsible tractor trailer operator's log books and/or prior driving history can provide the evidence needed to prove negligence. In order to protect your rights, it is recommended that you immediately contact a truck accident attorney from the firm to assist you and protect your rights.
The Attorneys of Colgan & Associates, LLC are competent and experienced in the area of truck accident law. Attorney David Hershey has also handled trucking and tractor trailer cases for over 20 years and has been involved in numerous, complex cases. Because there are often complicated technical issues that arise in any type of trucking accident, an innocent victim of one of these incidents needs to take immediate precautions to ensure that their rights are protected against large trucking companies and the insurance companies that protect their rights.
Serious issues can arise regarding lost income, loss of vehicle and even loss of life. All of these issues must be addressed fully, quickly and competently by the attorneys at the firm. If the accident is very serious or there is a question of fault, the firm will work closely with an accident reconstructionist and if necessary a private investigator.
Truck Accident Lawyer
The attorneys at the firm will handle unpaid medical bills by starting an insurance claim for you or your loved one. If necessary, the attorney will address health insurance payments and lien issues. If needed, a wage-loss claim with the client’s insurance company will be filed, with an expert vocational economist available to evaluate any future wage-loss issue. Because injuries are often catastrophic in truck and tractor trailer crashes, Colgan & Associates will also help you get appointments with medical providers, such as orthopedic specialists, Neurosurgeons and other health care providers. In some cases, the firm will work with a Life Care Planner to help illustrate the permanency and future economic affects of the injuries. After contacting the at-fault driver’s insurance company, the firm will handle the entire claim/negotiations process with them so you can focus on getting better. If the case settles, the firm will pay all liens and unpaid medical bills after negotiating the same for you. If the case does not settle, no time is wasted to file a complaint and move the case toward mediation, arbitration or jury trial.
If a jury trial is necessary, the attorneys at the firm often work as a team and have years of combined experience at trial. Most often the issues are solved prior to any jury trial, but every case is thoroughly prepared by your attorney to fully protect your rights.
