Do You Have to Accept an Insurance Settlement Offer?
In short, no. And refraining from doing so until you have consulted with an accident attorney is a wise move. Commercial insurance companies will do everything they can to pay as little as possible for your injuries. To ensure a settlement amount reflects what you deserve, have a lawyer, like ours at Perry & Young, review the offer and speak with you about your options for pursuing fair compensation.
Common Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Some of the most common causes of commercial vehicle accidents include:
- Fatigue: Drivers may fail to follow federal regulations concerning driving hours and rest breaks. As a result, they could be fatigued and have slower reaction times or make poor decisions.
- Carelessness: Unfortunately, drivers use cell phones while behind the wheel or are intentionally reckless when passing cars, turning, or changing lanes.
- Alcohol or Drugs: Consuming alcohol, smoking marijuana, or taking prescription drugs can all slow reaction times and impair a driver’s ability to safely operate their vehicle.
- Road Hazards: Inadequate signage, road damage, and other hazards can all lead to collisions that cause serious injuries or wrongful deaths.
- Defective Truck Components: Tires, brakes, and other critical vehicle components can fail due to defective design or manufacturing.
