Walmart may be an international behemoth, but it’s not an infallible company. It hires humans, and those humans can make mistakes, especially behind the wheel of a truck. Our Monticello Walmart truck accident lawyers have worked with hundreds of Hoosier families to hold the corporation accountable for their roadway losses.
Today, we’re prepared to do the same for you. Booking a free case consultation with our Monticello truck accident lawyers allows you to benefit from Vaughan & Vaughan’s decades of legal experience. Let’s work together to put money in your hands after a truck accident.
When Can You Contact a Monticello Walmart Truck Accident Lawyer?
Our Monticello personal injury lawyers recommend that you get in touch with a possible representative sooner rather than later after a collision. In some cases, a quick-responding attorney can join you at the scene of an accident to prevent bad actors from taking advantage of your stress and confusion.
However, we understand that if you’re seriously injured or need time to decompress, you may not reach out until several weeks have passed. Fortunately, we’re available to help you at any point before your statute of limitations expires and even after that in certain circumstances.
However, the faster you reach out, the faster we can:
- Gather evidence key to your recovery, including black box data and witness statements
- Prevent insurance claims adjusters from manipulating your words
- Prevent trucking agencies and affiliated parties from restricting or destroying black box data
Can Truck Accident Lawyers Help You File Insurance Claims?
Most people find themselves wanting to file insurance claims immediately following a truck accident. You have the right to do so as long as you have a bad actor’s insurance information. That information allows you to contact a relevant insurance claims adjuster, discuss the circumstances that led to your accident, and put forward a request for support.
You don’t have to have those conversations alone. You can ask Vaughan & Vaughan to reach out to a relevant insurance company on your behalf. Doing so can protect you from any bad-faith strategies an insurance company may use to minimize your losses or even waive your right to post-accident support.
Our team has decades of experience working with insurance claims adjusters and interrupting their bad-faith efforts to twist your words or misrepresent your losses. Our involvement in your fight for fair compensation can make it easier for you to claim the settlement you deserve.
Your Case Will Get
The Attention It Deserves
Who Can You Hold Responsible for a Walmart Truck Accident?
If you don’t get the financial support you need from an insurance company, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against the party responsible for your truck accident. Unfortunately, contracts can complicate questions of liability.
- If you get into an accident with an independent contractor, you can sue that individual for your losses, not Walmart
- If you get into an accident with a Walmart employee, you need to prove that they were on duty at the time of your crash to sue Walmart for damages
- If your accident results from vehicular mismanagement from one of Walmart’s partners, you may have the right to sue those partners, if not Walmart
What Evidence Do You Need to Build a Personal Injury Case?
Contracts only make up one part of your fight for truck accident compensation. If you’re filing a personal injury claim against bad actors, you also need enough evidence to meet or exceed Indiana’s burden of proof. The evidence our partnered investigators can use on your behalf may include the following:
- Photos from before and after an accident
- Statements from witnesses
- Records from emergency responders and attending medical professionals
- A police report describing the accident
- A truck’s black box data
- Videos of the accident
- Expert witness testimonies
- Environmental damage and physical debris
You do not have to gather this evidence independently, and you shouldn’t, especially if you’re injured. Our Monticello, IN, Walmart truck accident attorneys are here to do the legwork needed to build your case.
There is no fee
unless you win
What Compensation Can You Win After Filing a Walmart Truck Accident Claim?
The compensation you walk away with after filing a claim against Walmart or its affiliates should cover your economic and non-economic losses. Those losses may include the following:
- Emergency medical care
- Temporary or permanent disabilities
- Reduced quality of life
- Upcoming medical treatments
- Property damage and restoration
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death and funeral expenses, if necessary
Notably, insurance claims adjusters want to make it as hard as possible for you to include non-economic losses in your request for support. You can discuss the value of an insurance claim versus a personal injury claim with an attorney during a free Walmart truck accident case consultation.
What’s the Statute of Limitations on Walmart Truck Accident Cases in Indiana?
The statute of limitations that Indiana applies to its truck accident cases allows you to take up to two years and no longer to build a case against the bad actors involved in your accident. If you intend to bring a claim forward, that claim must reach applicable parties before the second anniversary of your accident, or the courts can dismiss it outright.
This, again, is where working with an experienced Walmart truck accident lawyer in Monticello, IN, comes in handy. You can expect your lawyer to pursue the data necessary to build your case as you’re recovering from serious injuries or going back to work. We preserve your right to legal action without adding to your stress.
