You Can Call Athens Delivery Truck Accident Lawyers Immediately After a Collision
Insurance companies and trucking agencies aren’t going to wait for you to heal from the worst of your truck accident injuries. These parties spring quickly and will offer you settlements that vastly undervalue your losses. While those settlements might seem generous at first, you should always discuss them with an attorney before accepting them.
Our Athens personal injury lawyers are ready, waiting to step in and keep insurance claims adjusters off of your back as you recover. You can call us immediately after a collision to secure representation without paying a dime.
In fact, the sooner you get in touch with a lawyer, the better. Our representation actively protects your right to financially recover from your accident. We can also prevent a delivery truck driver and their affiliated parties from redirecting blame for the collision onto you.

We Can Gather Evidence of Accident-Related Negligence
If you want to demand compensation for losses sustained in a truck accident, you must find evidence proving that someone else’s negligence caused your collision. The evidence most relevant to your recovery may include:
- A truck’s black box data
- Video footage of your accident
- Photos from before and after your accident
- Witness statements
- Physical debris
- Environmental damage
- Expert witness statements, including input from police officers, emergency responders, mechanics, and accident reconstructionists
You can count on our Athens, OH, truck accident attorneys to gather this evidence while you recover from your injuries and other losses.
Contracts also play a role in your attempts to hold the right people responsible for your losses. If an independent contractor hits you, you may sue that driver but not their clients (though you may have the right to ask for insurance through their clients’ insurers). If you’re hit by an agency employee, you may sue that agency for damages.

We Can Help You File for Fair Damages
When asking for compensation after a delivery truck accident, you must account for the full value of the losses you sustained. This means it’s worth your while to keep track of any receipts, invoices, and bills related to your:
- Emergency medical care
- Long-term medical treatments
- Property damage and restorative efforts
- Vehicular rentals
You can also use your pay stubs to account for any changes in wages from before and after your accident. You can hold a liable party accountable for your drop in income if injuries prevent you from going back to work.
Our team can also demand non-economic damages on your behalf. These damages account for losses like your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life. They can even see you compensated for a loved one’s wrongful death.

We File Before Your Statute of Limitations Expires
Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10(A) controls how much time you can take to build a personal injury claim against the parties responsible for your accident. If you can’t file a claim within two years of your collision, you may lose your right to ask for loss-based compensation.
Working with an attorney allows you to delegate responsibility for the claim-filing process to experienced professionals. We can stay one step ahead of your filing deadline while you get essential medical treatments and go back to work.
