When you are involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer, the damage to your vehicle and injuries to your body can be overwhelming.  As an 18-wheeler truck accident lawyer, I can tell you that the road to recovery, both physically and economically, can take a long, long time.  Insurance companies that insure large commercial trucking companies now that time is on their side, not the injury victim or surviving family members.  The longer they make someone hold out for compensation, the more likely the victim is to accept a grossly unfair amount of money.  Its extremely unfair and people in this situation are definitely taken advantage of. 

A Missouri truck accident lawyer can even the playing field.  Lawyers are familiar with the complexity of the laws that govern the commercial trucking industry.  They know what to look for when investigating a case and prosecuting it to a successful outcome.  Insurance companies have high-paid legal defense teams on retainer that work behind the scenes from the start to undermine the credibility of any tractor-trailer accident claim.  Its only fair that the victim have an attorney on their side to balance the scales.

Stephen Schultz has been representing trucking accident victims for years.  He is a member of APITLA, a highly respected organization dedicated to protecting the rights of persons injured in truck accidents.  Mr. Schultz only represents plaintiffs, and does so with the same conviction he wish he had when he was seriously injured in an automobile collision prior to enrolling in law school.  He knows, from personal experience, what it feels like to be badly injured in a crash and not knowing who to turn to for compassionate legal representation and what to expect from a lawsuit or settlement.
