No one ever expects to be in a car accident, but they do happen. If you are involved in a road-crash situation, it is important to know when to call a lawyer. In this blog post, we will discuss four different scenarios in which you should contact an attorney. We hope that this information will help keep you safe and informed on the best course of action to take following a car accident.

If You Happen To Be In A Jackknife Accident 

A jackknife accident is when a semi-truck’s trailer swings out and around, forming a 90-degree angle with the truck cab. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as overcorrection, sudden braking, or even incorrect turning. Jackknife accidents are considered very dangerous because the trailer can easily crush any smaller vehicles that happen to be in its path. If you are involved in a jackknife accident, it is important to call a jackknife accident attorney who can help you with your case. They will know how to deal with the trucking company and their insurance and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

If You Are Involved In A Rollover Accident 

Rollover accidents are one of the most dangerous types of car accidents. They often occur when a vehicle hits a patch of ice or water on the road, causing it to lose traction and roll over. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rollover accidents account for around 35 percent of all fatal car accidents. Also, SUVs and vans are more likely to roll over than other types of vehicles. These types of vehicles have a higher center of gravity, which makes them more susceptible to rolling over in an accident. If you are involved in a rollover accident, it is important to call a rollover accident attorney who can help you with your case. They can help you build a strong claim and get the compensation you deserve.

If You Are Hit By A Drunk Driver 

Drunk driving is a serious problem in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 29 people in the United States die every day in drunk-driving accidents. That is one death every 50 minutes. Drunk driving is a completely preventable crime, yet it continues to claim innocent lives every day. If you are hit by a drunk driver, it is important to call a drunk driving accident attorney who can help you with your case. According to the applicable laws in your state, the drunk driver may be liable for punitive damages in addition to any other damages that you may be entitled to. Also, the attorney can help you file a claim with the drunk driver’s insurance company. This way, you can get the compensation you need to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Furthermore, the attorney can help you file a civil suit against the drunk driver. This can help ensure that the driver is held accountable for their actions and serves as a deterrence to other would-be drunk drivers.

If You Are In An Accident With A Commercial Vehicle 

Commercial vehicles are larger and heavier than the average passenger vehicle, which means they can cause a lot of damage if they are involved in an accident.  If you are involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle, it is important to call a lawyer as soon as possible. Commercial vehicles are required to have insurance that is different from the insurance that covers passenger vehicles, and a lawyer can help you navigate the claims process. Additionally, commercial vehicles are subject to different regulations than passenger vehicles, and a lawyer can help you ensure that the driver of the commercial vehicle is held accountable for any violations. Their regulations are more complicated, so it is best to have a professional on your side. For example, if a commercial truck driver is found to be driving without a valid license, they could be held liable for any damages that occur. Or, if a commercial truck driver is found to be working beyond the hours of service limit, they could also be held liable. 

If you are involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle, it is important to call a lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you get the compensation you deserve. So, don’t wait, call a lawyer today if you happen to be involved in any of these four types of road-crush.
