Ogden Truck Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

When you’ve been seriously injured in an industrial truck accident, you need to know who was responsible so that you can recover financial damages. Get the settlement you’re owed by working with an Ogden 18-wheeler accident lawyer.

If you are recovering from injuries suffered in a semi-truck accident and are facing financial hardship as a result, it is important to speak with an Ogden truck accident attorney from Craig Swapp & Associates. We understand how trying this time can be and will do our best to make the process of recovering financial compensation as easy as possible by handling the legal aspects of your personal injury case.

Semi-Truck Wrecks Are Complicated

Being hit by an 18-wheeler or other large commercial truck creates additional legal complications because it is often difficult to tell who was responsible for the collision. For you to receive money for your injuries, someone needs to be more negligent for the accident than you were, and it is up to your truck accident lawyer in Ogden to prove it.

We cannot assume that the truck driver was at fault or financially liable for what happened. Instead, we need to investigate not only the accident, but also the relationship between the truck driver, trucking company, and anyone responsible for the truck’s maintenance. Dissecting these relationships is critical to knowing who to name in your lawsuit.

Possible Negligent Parties in Your Accident

Negligent parties can often include any of the following:

Trucking Company – These companies have a duty to conduct business in a manner that is safe. Putting untrained drivers on the road, forcing them to work long hours, or having bad policies in place can make the trucking company negligent.
Truck Driver – If the driver was distracted, intoxicated, or driving recklessly, the wreck could be his or her fault.
Truck Maintenance Company – When a third-party company handles truck maintenance, they are responsible for their quality of work. If a repair fails, they could be responsible for the crash.
Truck Part or Tire Manufacturer – When a defective product is put on the road, the manufacturer becomes responsible for any accidents that result.

Additionally, if the accident was caused by bad road conditions, the entity responsible for maintaining those roads could be at-fault.

How to Get Compensation for a Commercial Truck Collision

Working with an Ogden semi-truck accident lawyer from our office will give you the best opportunity for recovering monetary compensation for your injuries.

The process, however, is more complicated than it might initially seem. The other party’s insurance company will try to pay you as little as possible to preserve their profits. This means that you will have an entire organization actively working against you during the claims process, making it even more important to have your own personal injury attorney.

You stand a good chance of receiving compensation if the other party can be proven to have caused the crash, but that doesn’t mean that you will get enough money. Our job is to build a strong case so that you can receive the largest settlement possible. This could include money for any of the following items that apply to your case:

All medical bills, including future ones
Wages you lost by being unable to work
Transportation expenses
In-home caregivers
Physical and emotional therapy
Medication and mobility equipment
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment or quality of life

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
