Philadelphia Truck Accident Lawyers
Trucking companies are under ever increasing pressure to cut costs and deliver freight in a shorter amount of time. Sometimes, corners are cut in order to offset increasing operating costs and market competition. This can result in drivers exceeding the amount of time they are allowed to drive under federal law, improperly maintained vehicles, insufficiently trained drivers, and excessive speeding to meet deadlines. At the law office of Saile & Saile LLP, our truck accident lawyers work with accident investigators, mechanical engineers, and other experts in determining the cause of a truck accident. We review the driver's driving log, the vehicle's maintenance record, and the driver's drug test results and other information to determine if a violation of federal or state law has occurred.
Before you talk with an insurance adjuster or a trucking company's lawyer, contact Saile & Saile LLP today and schedule a free consultation to discuss your case. We will protect your rights and make sure you get your day in court to demand answers and compensation for your injuries.

Costs Associated with an 18 Wheeler Accident
Truck accidents are usually more severe due to the size of big rigs. Injuries involving catastrophic head trauma, spinal cord damage, paralysis, and amputations are not uncommon. In order to ensure our clients receive an award or settlement proportional to the financial impact of their injuries, our attorneys consult life care planners, economists, and medical experts.
Working with established cost-data from HMOs and insurance companies, we look at known costs associated with medical treatment, surgery, physical therapy, in-home nursing care, prescription drugs, and lost earnings. As your trucking accident lawyers, we demand nothing less than fair compensation for your injuries and family financial obligations.
What You should Know Before You Talk to an Insurance Claims Adjuster
Insurance companies are in business to make money. They train claims adjusters in methods for reducing the amount that they have to pay in claims settlements by encouraging adjusters to settle claims as soon as possible after an accident. This reduces costs by: 1) avoiding litigation and 2) determining a settlement amount before the full impact of a person's injuries are known. Insurance companies also use a software program named "Colossus," to calculate settlement amounts. What information an agent enters into Colossus will effect the estimated settlement amount, often ignoring the personal dimension and pain and suffering involved.
