When a person is injured due to someone else's negligent, reckless or malicious actions, that person has a right to seek compensation. We recognize the injured party's right to receive compensation for injuries - physical, psychological or fatal - sustained during car and truck accidents. Compensation is important for an accident victim to move forward with life.
