It can come as an unhappy surprise to accident victims that the trucking company may not pay your medical costs right away. Your own insurance may cover some of your expenses, including some medical bills and funeral costs if a loved one died. However, we strongly urge you NOT to give a statement to your insurance company or to the trucking company, nor to sign any release forms, before consulting with an experienced truck accident attorney. Your actions could be used against you to limit the amount of compensation you are awarded. To discuss your particular situation, please contact a truck accident attorney at Chalik & Chalik Law Offices today.
