If you have been injured in an Oregon auto accident which involves a semi truck, tractor trailer or semi commercial type of big rig, it is even more important that you contact an experienced Oregon auto and truck accident attorney as soon as possible so that you take steps to protect your claim, ease the worries, and can focus on getting better.

Trucking company lawyers may pressure you to sign forms even at the scene of a truck accident. The average truck accident is both more serious and more complex at all levels and trucking companies employ their own attorneys to mitigate their financial liability after truck accidents.

Consult with an experienced Oregon truck accident lawyer before signing or speaking with any insurance company, even your own. Because of the professional nature of semi trucking, the size and expense of these vehicles and the likelihood of serious injury and even death in trucking accidents, they often have very agressive lawyers and insurance adjusters working for their interests, not yours.

Truck accidents are more complicated than auto accidents. Trucking companies most often have their own legal experts immediately dispatch to the accident scene in order to release their liability in the accident.

There may be different types of negligence to prove in a truck accident case. A tractor trailer may be over loaded or improperly loaded which contributed the accident. Or, the truck driver may be exhausted and had driven beyond the legal period because of pressure by the trucking company. Semi trucks themselves may be dangerous or defective. Semi-truck tires can be dangerous by themselves. In some cases there may product liability issues which llead to the truck accident.
