Information and Insight for Injured Iowans

     After a truck accident, there are bound to be repair and medical bills and can cause a lot of added stress. While it may seem as though the truck driver’s insurance company representative is trying to help you and relieve some of that stress, that is not their job or in the best interest. You should remember that this is a professional who is trained to use a number of tactics to make sure that his or her insurance company pays you as little as possible. One such tactic is telling you their company won’t pay if you don’t act right away.

     Insurance company representatives will often try to pressure you to do things for them right away. They often suggest that you will not receive fair compensation if you don’t act “right now.” This suggestion is bogus. Iowa truck accident victims generally have 2 years from the accident date to seek compensation for their injuries either by settling their claims or by filing a lawsuit. While there are some situations where the law requires you to provide notice within 6 months, you only have to act when the law requires it – not when the insurance company asks.
