When you've been injured, the party responsible for your injuries often carries insurance to cover some or all of the damages you have suffered. However, an insurance company's primary goal is to maximize its profitability by minimizing the amounts it pays out in claims - in other words, by keeping the amounts paid to truck accident claimants as modest as possible. Insurance adjusters are professionals - and they're skilled at undervaluing the claims of injured people for their company's benefit. You can choose to settle an truck accident claim on your own - but you may end up settling your case for a fraction of its true value. Hiring the right truck accident lawyer levels the playing field between you and the insurer, ensuring that you receive compensation for the full value of your claim.
When you're injured at home, finding a truck accident lawyer may seem as easy as opening the phone book. But what do you do when you're injured while traveling in another state or province, or even another country? When cases implicate the laws of more than one province, or the laws of United States jurisdictions, you need a truck accident lawyer familiar with handling complex cross-border cases to ensure that your case is competently handled from start to finish.
At Cross Border Law, we handle personal injury claims (such as truck accidents) for Canadians in the U.S., and for Americans in Canada. As truck accident lawyers who focus their practice on complex cross-border litigation, we're fully aware of the subtle nuances between American and Canadian law, and put our knowledge to work to maximize your recovery. While most cases eventually settle before trial, we believe that thorough preparation for trial is the best way to maximize the value of your case. If the defendant or insurer seeks to settle on your terms, we'll always listen. If not, we are fully prepared to "go the distance" and take your case to the courtroom. We believe a trial-focused approach is sound in principle, and delivers results in practice. See our Notable Cases for examples of how some of our past clients have benefited from this approach.
We typically handle cases on a contingency basis. We are paid a portion of the total recovery, and not until you recover. While you are ultimately responsible for disbursements or litigation expenses, we are prepared to advance the necessary sums to prove your case. We are pleased to offer a free initial consultation to give us an opportunity to explain how we might assist you.
