A tractor-trailer accident lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in representing victims of tractor-trailer accidents.
A tractor-trailer accident lawyer is a specialist. His job is to get the trucking company to pay for medical care and lost wages.
The problem, of course, is that trucking companies are good at making lawyers mad. They like to keep records as complicated as possible because that’s how they avoid paying. To a lawyer, a trucking company record looks like a crossword puzzle. To the driver, it’s a piece of blank paper.
So the lawyer has to work fast. He has to be good at picking apart the evidence and at being persuasive. His clients have to be able to explain their symptoms and their treatment, and they have to be willing and able to testify in court.
The lawyer has to know medical terminology, and he must know how the trucking company’s records work. He gets paid one fee, no matter what it costs. If he wins, he wins everything. If he loses, he still gets paid the fee.
The job can be fun, but it can also be a grind, especially when a trucking company keeps changing lawyers. But it’s important to know you’re dealing with professionals. All here on Repdex
