Daylight Transport Truck Accident Lawyers

Daylight Transport is a long-haul trucking company founded in 1977.

As a result, Daylight Transport has grown significantly over a four-decade period, and they are now one of the nation’s leading LTL cargo carriers. Daylight Transport promotes the fact that they pick up LTL shipments on Thursday or Friday. They can deliver the mode on Monday for hundreds of long-haul lanes. Approximately 75% of the long haul freight they carry can be delivered in two days. Daylight Transfer uses direct loading, strict cut-and-arrival patterns, and non-stop two-driver teams to support fast shipping.

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you may be wondering what steps you should take. One of the most important things you can do is receive the medical care you need. If the paramedics at the scene recommend that you go to the emergency room, you should follow their advice. If not, we recommend undergoing a thorough medical evaluation with your doctor as soon as possible after the accident.

Receiving the medical care you need will help you recover. It will also help you prove that the truck accident caused your injuries.

Establishing a record of medical care and keeping all of your records will help you provide evidence when you make a legal compensation claim.

Working with a knowledgeable, experienced truck accident line on your side is the best way to ensure you will receive enough compensation for your medical bills, long-term therapy, lost income, pain and suffering, and any other damages you have experienced. Many accident victims are understandably tempted to accept the first settlement agreement they are offered. They are concerned about paying their medical bills and decide to take the settlement. Unfortunately, most settlement offers are far too low. Insurance companies hope that they can quickly settle the claim for a lower amount than it is worth.

In most truck accident cases, one or more drivers’ negligence or recklessness causes the accent that results in injuries. Truck accidents are unique because truck drivers are required by federal and state laws to take mandatory breaks, keep maintenance records, and carry minimum levels of insurance.

Additionally, most semi-trucks have black boxes that record information crucial to determining liability after an accident.
