Semi Truck Accident

Pre-Settlement Funding: Semi Truck Accident

 

When it comes to auto accidents, collisions involving semi-trucks result in some of the most serious consequences. Because truck drivers are often expected to meet tight deadlines, many find themselves working very long and demanding hours. As a result, many truckers on the road today are exhausted and their judgment can be impaired. Some truckers may even fall asleep while behind the wheel, resulting in a devastating accident. Truckers may be solely liable for a semi truck accident when they are proved negligent; in other cases, the trucker’s employer can also be found liable in a semi truck accident.

Some of the common causes of semi truck accidents include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Speeding
  • Tailgating
  • Drowsy driving
  • Loads that shift weight
  • Failure to properly to train the truck driver
  • Improper semi-truck maintenance

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, there were more than 327,000 auto collisions involving commercial trucks. Additionally, one out of every eight deadly auto accidents on highways involve a semi truck. These numbers are both shocking and tragic, especially when these accidents could have easily been prevented and when they result in serious injury or death.

Waiting for a semi truck accident case to finalize can feel overwhelming. The semi truck accident may have resulted in serious injuries that required medical attention, which in turn, will have resulted in significant medical bills. You may also be unable to return to work as you’re waiting to recover, which can leave you without a stable income in the interim.

You may have already retained a truck accident attorney to fight for your rights to receive the monetary compensation you deserve, but the wait may seem longer than you ever expected. In fact, insurance companies are notorious for aggressively defending semi trucks when they’re involved in accidents, and as a result, these types of cases tend to be complex and time-consuming. Although these cases will take a certain amount of time to pay out, there are other options if you need money sooner.

By working with USClaims, you may be able to receive money faster through a process known as pre-settlement funding. Also sometimes known as a lawsuit advance, this process can get you the money you need and without the long wait. If your case doesn’t settle, you don’t owe any money, so there is nothing to lose.
