In addition to representing automobile insureds, Wilkins Tipton also counsels and represents intrastate and interstate motor carriers. Our attorneys are well versed in handling numerous aspects of the trucking and transportation field, including issues involving initial accident investigation and claims, personal injury or wrongful death claims, workers' compensation claims, contribution and indemnification claims, policy stacking and insurance coverage disputes.
Our experience in defending trucking accidents has afforded us the opportunity to identify the experts needed to successfully defend these claims. These experts include accident reconstructionists, vocational rehabilitation experts and economists. By developing a collaborative relationship with our clients, we are able to get involved early in the investigation process following an accident or incident. This allows us to work with our clients to ensure evidence is collected or preserved, and also affords our clients the benefits of the attorney-client and attorney-work product privilege while the investigation is in its infancy. This emphasis on early attorney involvement is particularly important when the accident at issue resulted in serious injury with possible high liability exposure.
