Wrongful Death Attorney David Monteleone Explains Why Insurance Companies Pull Out All the Stops to Defend Against Truck Crash Lawsuits

When you have lost a loved one in a truck accident, you have many immediate concerns: notifying family and close friends, planning the funeral or memorial service, helping children and other family members to deal with the tragedy, and handling your own grief. Filing a Rockford wrongful death suit may feel wrong—like you are trying to put a price on your loved one’s life. However, if your family member was killed in a truck accident due to the negligence or carelessness of a truck driver or trucking firm, you deserve to be compensated for your loss.

A truck accident is different from a typical Rockford car crash due to the following factors:

• Trucks are large and heavy—much heavier than a typical passenger vehicle. When a truck strikes a car, SUV, or motorcycle, the force is considerable, with the potential to cause severe or even fatal injuries.
• Professional truck drivers—who have specialized training—operate these huge vehicles.
• Trucking companies employ professional drivers to drive the trucks in a safe manner that complies with trucking rules and regulations.
•  Trucking companies are required to have a minimum of $750,000 of liability insurance on their trucks. Many trucking firms purchase several layers of insurance, which results in even higher levels of coverage.

A wrongful death lawsuit means that an insurance company has a great deal of money on the line. The company will offer a vigorous defense, hiring capable lawyers, medical experts, investigators, and accident reconstruction specialists, in order to avoid paying your claim.
