A recent article in The Kansas City Star by Monty Davis called for the installation of automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning systems and other high-tech safety features in new semis and large trucks. No doubt, Davis and others feel such measures are necessary due to an increase in accidents and fatalities involving heavy/large trucks. [videosingle id="21064" width="100%" height="400" rel="false" /] Have you recently been injured in a Kansas City trucking accident? If so, you may be wondering what type of attorney you need following your truck accident. Many attorneys may jump at the chance to take your case, regardless of whether or not they specialize in trucking accident cases. Unfortunately, this is because they anticipate being able to settle the case and making a sizable fee. Nevertheless, it is in your best interest to find an attorney who specializes in trucking accident cases. “Do your homework,” said Scott Mann, Kansas City truck accident attorney at Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys. “Find an experienced group of attorneys that specifically handles trucking accidents.” Unlike many other legal firms, the Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys have handled hundreds of trucking accidents. Handling your trucking case would include:
- Investigating your accident to compile evidence, including sensitive DOT inspection records and logs.
- Negotiating aggressively with the trucking insurance company.
- Filing and pursuing a lawsuit on your behalf (in the case of unsuccessful negotiations).
- Ensuring the most compensation possible is recovered.
