There is little to match the emotional trauma of a collision with a commercial truck. The injury and impact of a severe truck accident are lasting, perhaps taking you months to fully recover – or in some cases, leaving you with permanent repercussions. Fortunately, a Norfolk truck accident attorney from Rutter Mills can help you get back on your feet.
We will be able to evaluate the accident and determine the compensation you’re entitled to for medical, property damage, and other expenses. Once we figure out the right dollar amount to support your needs, we’ll make sure the insurance companies don’t shortchange you – or if they do, we’ll bring your story before a judge. Either way, you will get the money you deserve for your recovery.
Rutter Mills has over 65 years of experience handling truck accident cases just like yours. The nuisance of intersections like the one at Northampton, Princess Anne and Military Highway has gotten under everyone’s skin at least once–including ours. We’ve lived it, too – which is why our team of lawyers brings a great deal of local experience to every case they handle, getting recognition for their services on multiple occasions.
Not every law firm has the financial resources to go to court and the insurance companies know that. They know Rutter Mills will bring expert witnesses, forensic experts, and investigators to testify. When you hire our attorneys, the insurance companies know you mean business.
We have all witnessed horrendous accidents on I-64’s highways and exit ramps. As the victim of a truck accident, you may feel like you’re on the losing side of an upward battle, whether facing tremendous expenses or the pain of your injuries. But you don’t have to fight alone.
There are a number of expenses you can get compensation for, especially with the help of a Norfolk truck accident attorney. If you’re thinking about pursuing a claim for a truck accident injury, contact our team to learn how we can help you get payment for damages like:
Property damage: If you’ve been in a truck accident, it’s very likely that your car has been damaged or totaled. A Rutter Mills lawyer can get you compensation to cover the cost of repair or even the purchase of a new vehicle. On top of that, we also help you secure payment for a rental car to use while your car is in the shop.
Emotional distress: Truck accidents can be extremely frightening and cause psychological impacts that may take years to resolve. If you’re dealing with emotional trauma from a truck accident, our lawyers can help you pursue a claim for any PTSD, depression, or anxiety you might be experiencing.
Lost income: If you were injured in a truck accident, you might have missed work while you receiving treatment or recovering. In some instances, victims sustain long-term disabilities that bar them from work for years or significantly reduce their ability to earn wages. If your accident left you unable to work, schedule a free consultation with our skilled lawyers. We’ll get you reimbursed for income you’ve unfairly lost.
KNOW YOUR WORTH
In Virginia, you can legally earn interest on injury compensation. When your injury payments are delayed, we’ll use our knowledge of Coastal Virginia law to demand interest payments for you, ensuring the fullest coverage possible for your recovery needs. Our extensive experience in Hampton Roads has taught us about the dire repercussions of a run-in with an 18-wheeler. We understand how expensive it can be to recover from a truck accident. When you partner with us, we’ll bring you in and hear your story in a free consultation. We do not charge upfront fees for our legal services.
Trucking companies require their drivers to keep a log of their working hours and rest breaks. It is illegal to overwork truck drivers because fatigued drivers are more likely to cause accidents. If a driver’s log shows that they were working without breaks during the day of the accident, your Norfolk truck accident attorney can use that information to get you damages.
We have access to the best accident experts. They’ll be able to use evidence from the scene of the incident like tire skid marks, and vehicle damage to prove the offending driver is liable for the crash.
Using a cell phone while driving is distracting and can cause accidents. If the truck driver was using their cell phone at the time of the accident, we’ll be able to find out by accessing their phone records. By proving they were distracted, we can hold them responsible for your injuries.
EDRs are devices installed in almost every truck on the road today. They record data like truck speed, brake usage, and other information about the vehicle. Since truck drivers can easily falsify their work logs and lie about their driving habits, our lawyers can use data from their EDRs to prove their negligence caused the accident.
Our team goes to work without any money from our clients. Simply put, we don’t get paid unless you do. Our lawyers work on a set percentage of your settlement. You can rest easy while we fight for the settlement you deserve. When your lawyer reaches a fair settlement amount with the insurance company (or when you receive your court-awarded payment), a portion is simply used to pay our lawyers’ fees.
If your case is unsuccessful, you are not responsible for paying our lawyer’s fee, but keep in mind there are fees separate from our services: court costs, filing fees, expert witness fees, and court reporter bills. Facts like these may hide under the surface, so we like to make the legal process as transparent to you as possible. Because we believe in guiding our clients from start to finish, complaint to payment.
Our lawyers will do everything in their power to help you pursue your injury case. And if you wish to take active part in the process, there are a number of things you can do directly after an accident to improve your chances of receiving a fair insurance settlement or jury-awarded payment:
