6 Blunders That Wreck Truck Accident Claims

Online, November 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Barreling along at 60 miles per hour, it takes more than the length of a football field to stop a big rig. At up to 40 tons, when commercial trucks meet passenger vehicles, the loser is predetermined. Serious injury or death is often the result.

Solomon Neuhardt, an accident attorney in Billings, Montana, has written a guide to help the victims of trucking accidents. "My clients have already suffered the direct tragedy of the original accident. My job is to help them avoid the additional tragedy of a lowball settlement from an insurance company."

In 6 Blunders That Wreck Truck Accident Claims, Mr. Neuhardt covers the avoidable mistakes that can dramatically reduce settlements. Using the simple and effective techniques in this guide, readers will gain the inside knowledge needed to make the strongest possible case.

Covered material includes:

• Acting quickly before critical evidence disappears. The important information you should collect at the scene and afterwards.
• The principle of documentation and how to get the right things recorded the right way.
• Why you might sign something you shouldn't and how to handle insurance investigators.
• The power of honesty and being truthful.
• When you need a lawyer and when you don't.

"In the aftermath of a serious accident, people are naturally overwhelmed by the financial and emotional stresses of the events. Having some clear recommendations in a guide they can read at their own pace helps everyone concerned. It helps them generate good questions and gets everyone focused on the same goals."

The booklet is currently being offered free of charge to Montana residents. Mr. Neuhardt will mail a copy at request through his website at www.montana-truck-accident-attorney.com or by calling his office-- 406.294.9540
