Let An Experienced Truck Accident Lawyer in Salem Help You
That CDL Doesn’t Make Them Safe
If you or a family member has been injured in an auto accident or car accident in Salem, Oregon contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at the Youd Law Firm in Salem, Oregon.
Were you recently in an accident that involved a commercial vehicle? This type of accident can be quite a bit different than accidents that involve only personal vehicles.
We often assume that professional drivers are better at driving because it’s what they do for a living. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. In fact, commercial drivers are often more dangerous because they’re encouraged to meet unrealistic goals to make more money. That means the guy in control of that truck, train, commercial vessel, or airplane may be exhausted and, as a result, extremely dangerous.
Another thing that can make recovering damages in an accident with a commercial vehicle more difficult is that the insurance companies often have teams of lawyers who specialize in minimizing compensatory payouts. It can be extremely difficult to get a fair settlement after you’ve been involved in a commercial accident. The biggest mistake you can make is to try to go it alone in court.
