Trucking accidents are often notoriously difficult to handle through your insurance companies alone. Truckers in New Jersey are required to have extensive insurance coverage but this coverage can be extremely complex. Insurance companies covering trucking companies may have several layers of other companies which can often lead to confusion and refusal over payments. Insurance providers for truckers will often fight hard to try to avoid paying anything in trucking accidents, leaving the entire burden on the innocent victims involved.
These payments can include vehicle damage, medical bills, costs of emergency services, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, physical therapy, loss of work, loss of wages and many more. In many cases the victims of trucking accidents do not know what to do or how to handle these expenses following an accident. Insurance companies, officials from the trucking company involved and even the victim's own insurance provider will all try to avoid paying anything if they can.
