Maximizing a trucking accident settlement depends on both liability and damages and the reason i say that is because the circumstances under which that collision occurred affects damages or the amount that the insurance company for the trucking company or the trucking company themselves are going to offer to resolve your particular case it’s really important to look at not only the driver but the company that hired that driver and the decisions that they made in putting that driver out on the road. We know that oftentimes what happens on the road is not a one-off incident and there’s actually a history that preceded that incident and led it to occur. If the liability portion of the case is built appropriately, the amount of the settlement is inevitably going to be higher.
