THE SECRET TO A SUCCESSFUL TRUCK ACCIDENT CLAIM CRUCIAL STEPS FOR SECURING JUSTICE
If you’ve been injured in an accident with an 18-wheeler or another commercial vehicle, there is one critical step you can take to increase your odds of securing justice: Call your lawyer immediately. Putting off that call for even a few days can drastically change your results. That might sound dramatic, but we’ve seen both options play out in our truck accident cases. While we do our best to achieve justice for every client who reaches out to us, the people who call quickly typically get the best results. Here are two reasons why: 1. It’s easier to gather evidence and find the people involved in your accident if it just happened. If you wait too long to call your lawyer, paperwork could get lost, weather could reshape the crash site, or the driver who hit you could disappear to hide that they’re untrained, unlicensed, or didn’t pass a background check. We recently closed a case involving a trucker driving a large Mack truck without a license. He ran a red light and hit another vehicle, killing the woman inside. Instead of stopping and attempting to help the woman he hurt, the truck driver instead tried to flee the scene of the crash.
This was a tragic, heartbreaking, and avoidable situation. The family was able to get some closure after The Button Law Firm got more information and held the driver and the company he worked for responsible. 2. Truck accident cases are complicated, so the more time we have to investigate, the better. The sooner you call your lawyer, the sooner they can investigate what happened on the road. Truck crashes involve a lot of evidence, including the truck’s black box, the driver’s hours-of-service logs, and the truck inspection and repair records. Things get even more complicated if the driver’s employer tries to withhold evidence. Above all, the statute of limitations can also stop you from pursuing a case if you let too much time pass you by. We hope you never need this information — but in case you or a loved one is ever in an accident involving a truck, you’ll have the tools to help hold the driver and company accountable. Calling your lawyer quickly (or designating someone to make the call if you’re badly injured) could make or break your case. At The Button Law Firm, we want to help you find the justice your deserve after experiencing a damaging truck accident. If you or someone you know needs our support, call 214-699-4409 .
AN EXCITING NEW ADDITION TO OUR TEAM How Lilia Thrives at The Button Law Firm
We’re excited to welcome Lilia, our new case manager! Before joining our team, Lilia spent over two years as a paralegal at an immigration firm. Although she loved her work there, a shift in circumstances led her on a different path, which brought her to The Button Law Firm. Before she worked in law, Lilia was an expert in administrative work. Yet, she wanted to make a difference and be part of a team that worked directly with people to help them move forward. While she didn’t know too much about personal injury law beforehand, it was clear she was a great fit for our team during her interview. As a mother of two, Lilia was astounded by how prominent daycare abuse and neglect were in everyday life. From the moment our team met Lilia, we knew she was a kind, empathetic person who could help our client through difficult times. When discussing her work with our clients, Lilia said, “If I see someone cry, I will definitely cry, too!” It’s this compassion that drives her to do her best and comfort clients who have gone through the unimaginable as parents. As a team, we know just how important it is to show kindness and empathy when discussing daycare injury cases — and Lilia’s kind- heartedness is such a great addition to the team. Recently, Lilia
revealed that she was a bit nervous about joining our firm! Like most people, attorneys can seem intimidating. Yet, when she arrived, Lilia soon saw we were just as compassionate as her. Our team genuinely cares about our clients. It’s what we do! Outside the office, she’s running nonstop, whether running errands or hiking a trail. With a 3-year-old and 6-month-old, Lilia is as busy as it gets! Despite her chaotic schedule, she always makes time to
stay active. Lilia isn’t afraid to say that getting herself up and running also helps her toddler burn out some energy, too! When she gets some downtime, she loves all things scary, be it horror movies, haunted houses, or creepy podcasts. So, if you ever need any spooky recommendations, come to Lilia! We can’t wait to see what Lilia accomplishes here at The Button Law Firm in the future. Welcome to the team!
