You should consider a trucking accident lawsuit because the catastrophic injuries that a truck accident causes are very expensive to treat. Medical bills alone can easily reach six figures in a serious accident, and could reach millions in a case of permanent disability. Meanwhile, victims may not be able to work for months, if they can return to work at all. The insurance for the trucking company should cover those bills, but victims generally have to file a lawsuit to secure all of the money that they are owed.
