Our family was in a bad accident with a tractor-trailer unit. The cause of the accident is not clear. What do we do?

It is quite difficult to say for certain that one particular action or inaction caused an accident. The cause for the crash may have been due to a series of small mistakes. The most important thing you can do is to retain a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible so the lawyer can start investigating the possible causes of your accident.
