Should I sue because of the accident?

A commercially registered vehicle came to deliver purchased items at our home. He drove into our home and we tried to stop him but he hit the wall and damaged the front room. What should we do? Is this personal injury or will insurance take care of it? Do we need an attorney?

Well assuming no one was physically, it is certainly an accident insurance claim. There are claims all over, which could get quite tricky. You can hire an attorney by the hour or on a contingent basis.

You should contact you home insurer as well as the driver's auto insurer and let those two fight over who is responsible for the damages.

Every truck is required to carry $1,000,000.00 property damage insurance to cover events such as this. It is NOT a personal Injury case. You should write a letter with a repair estimate and send it to the defendant. You maybe able to settle without an attorney. If they don't settle, then you will need an attorney.
