Every year we hear about horrific traffic accidents. An accident is bad enough when two cars collide, but when it’s a tractor trailer accident between the Davids and Goliaths of the road, a car and an eighteen wheeler, the aftermath of a collision is usually gruesome.
From California to Delaware, from Canada to Mexico, all over the USA, we read about tractor trailer accidents involving cars, vans, SUVs, even other trucks. The aftermath is seldom mentioned. Most drivers assume that injuries resulting from the accident are covered by his policy or the other driver’s policy. It’s only after an accident that we find out what our policy is actually worth. Most automobile policies are valued at $300,000/$100,000.The tractor trailer owners’ commercial insurance is valued at about 50 times that!

Given the amount of money at stake, the insurance company’s lawyers will be on the site before the wreckage is removed. Your first move should be to contact The Accident Attorneys of Monge
