We Don’t Settle for Less. Neither Should You.™
The economic burden of a collision with a big rig, including medical expenses, inability to work and more adds tremendous amounts of stress to accident victims. Insurance companies understand how the stress affects you, and they regularly try to take advantage of your vulnerable state of mind. Remember, insurance claims adjusters’ top goal is to pay out as little as possible or avoid paying anything on a claim. According to an Insurance Research Council (IRC) study:
- 85% of personal injury victims who received a payout were represented by legal counsel.
- On average, injury victim claimants who retained attorneys received 300% more money than those who did not retain legal representation. In our experience, when it comes to serious trucking accidents, the numbers can be many times greater.
Don’t make a costly mistake — allow Montlick to pursue the full value of you claim.
