As the third largest city in Missouri, Springfield is a hub for freight-carrying trucks. Due to our size and location, it’s important for Springfield residents to know how to protect their rights if they’ve been injured in a trucking accident.
Unfortunately, when a semi-truck is involved in an accident, the other driver and their passengers are the most likely to suffer serious injuries. Under Missouri laws, though, those injured in trucking accidents have the legal right to bring a personal injury claim against the trucking company and driver.
“If you’ve been involved in a serious accident, the best way to enforce your rights is to contact an attorney who regularly handles these types of claims,” said attorney Scott Mann, founding partner of the Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys.
As Springfield injury attorneys specializing in trucking accidents, the Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys team communicates with insurance companies and trucking companies on behalf of our clients. We share information related to liability of the claim (comparative fault) and establishing our clients’ damages.
According to Mann, “If that information is not provided, you will not be compensated for your injuries. Ultimately, if we’re unable to arrive at a settlement with the insurance company— which can happen— we’ll then file a lawsuit for you with the goal of getting you the best recovery.”
