After big truck accidents, many victims face mountains of debt and weeks or months of lost paychecks while they recover, if they ever recover! But even though they have the possibility of getting compensation from the at-fault party by calling a lawyer, the legal process is simply too intimidating for many to follow through—especially if they think there’s a chance they’ll have to go to court.

Instead, insurance companies analyze every claim and potential claim and decide on what’s best for their bottom lines. And sometimes, that means paying a quick settlement—but that’s not always the case.
