Did you know that every 15 minutes, semi-trucks injure or kill a person in the United States? With that frequency of incidents, it’s not surprising that many Americans are searching for good truck accident lawyers to protect themselves and their families. But how do you find a good truck accident lawyer? Regan Zambri Long can help you find the right personal injury lawyer for your unique case.
Finding proper representation for yourself and your loved ones following a truck accident is likely the most critical decision you will need to make legally. Remember, your lawyer will be the person handling all of your case communications, as well as negotiating on your behalf. Not to mention, this individual or team of lawyers will also need to be well versed in insurance law and personal injury statute of limitations.
For many people, an injury caused in a truck or automobile accident is the first time they will ever seek legal representation. Knowing where to go or how to find information can be daunting. However, word of mouth is often a great place in finding a lawyer you want to learn more about.
Ask family members, friends, and even coworkers if they know of any personal injury lawyers who take on truck accidents and start there. People are often willing to share their experience with a team–regardless if it is positive or negative.
The internet is a great place to start your search for a truck accident lawyer. You can visit your states bar association website to find accredited lawyers as well as access contact information all in one place.
Though social media comes with mixed reviews, checking out a potential law firm’s online presence may tell you a lot about their experience with cases like yours, as well as how other clients have done in cases.
With that being said, be sure to check out law firm websites to learn more about the areas of law they practice and their case successes.
Most law firms offer a free consultation–use it! Depending on the firm, this may be done in person, over video conference, or on the phone. Regardless of the format, be sure to ask about the firm’s experience.
Potential questions to ask may include:
After a horrific experience like being involved in a truck accident, you’ll want to make sure you discuss with your lawyer what your

specific goals are. Do you want a quick settlement? Are you willing to take this to court?
If you are looking to put this behind you and move on quickly with a settlement, you’ll need a strong negotiator who can help you meet your financial and emotional goals. However, if you know that you want a larger settlement to pay out future medical costs, that may require a more lengthy trial. Both of these scenarios are common, and will likely be needed to point you in the right direction of a potential lawyer.
You know you need legal representation, but you may fear the out-of-pocket costs. Don’t jump to a hasty settlement with the insurance company because you have concerns about how to pay for a good lawyer. Instead, learn upfront what the payment plan is for the firm you are seeking representation from. Often when filing a personal injury suit, you do not pay your lawyer until a settlement or verdict has been awarded.
Once you find the right lawyer for your case and your needs, you can learn more about their specific payment options.
If you live in Washington DC, Maryland, or Virginia, the truck accident attorneys at Regan Zambri Long can get you the best results possible for your case. Backed by more than 100 years of combined experience, our firm has an established reputation for pursuing legal excellence.
