Attorney Friedman Is an Experienced 18 Wheeler Accident Lawyer
Attorney Friedman has extensive experience helping his clients navigate the civil court system. In order to win your case, you’ll need to execute a number of specific legal tasks including:
- Drafting and filing a complaint with the court. A complaint is a legal document that initiates a lawsuit. It describes how the defendant harmed the plaintiff and outlines a number of specific remedies to rectify the situation.
- Collecting evidence for discovery. After you file a complaint, you’ll need to submit any evidence to the court during the discovery process. Evidence can include documents like reports from the police or an insurance company. If you don’t file a piece of evidence during discovery, you won’t be able to use it during your trial.
- Negotiating with opposing parties. In many truck accident cases, you’ll be facing off against an insurance company in court. These companies have nearly limitless resources to fight claims like yours. However, an experienced lawyer can help you negotiate with the defendant in your 18 wheeler truck accident claim.
