The severe injuries characteristic of semi truck accidents will often result in death or permanent disability. Unlike car accident litigation, where a driver might carry only $50,000 or $100,000 in liability coverage, commercial vehicles are typically insured at a minimum of $1 million, so your lawyer needs to be ready to prove the full extent of your injuries as well as future medical and financial needs.
With the help of experts from fields such as accident reconstruction, bio-mechanics, life-care planning, medicine and economics, Daniel O'Neill knows how to present catastrophic damages claims in persuasive detail. He also approaches every case as if it were headed straight for trial. The detailed preparation that goes into the proof of liability and damages will help you just as much in settlement negotiations as it will in court.
