We would advise you not to speak with an insurance company before understanding your legal rights and taking legal representation if you have been a victim of a transportation truck accident. Insurance adjusters are never on the side of the claimant, they are hired by the insurance company to ensure the pay-outs to the victims are limited and controlled. In most cases the settlement offered by them are not good enough to even cover the medical cost and other losses. Anything said by the claimant can be used for limiting their right to compensation, therefore it is advisable to let a legal representative speak and settle on your behalf.
