Did you know? In 2023, more than 168,000 large truck accidents were recorded.* In almost all cases, owner-operators who weren’t at fault didn’t know they had the right to recover lost income for the days your equipment was down and unable to operate. And it’s costing owner-operators and fleet owners millions of dollars each year.
That’s where we come in.
At Eckert & Associates, we help owner operators and fleets recover money lost through not-at-fault accidents by educating them on the fact they have the right to recover:
- Lost income from downtime
- Diminution of value
- Property damage costs
And on top of that, we also handle insurance subrogation.
The Unique Nature of Downtime Claims
Downtime, Lost Revenue, Loss of Revenue, Loss of Use, Lost Income, and Business Interruption Losses are terms often intermingled within the insurance industry.
When your equipment isn’t operating, you can’t make money. For owner operators – truckers, wreckers, rideshare or delivery drivers, it’s important to get back on the road as quickly as possible after an accident.
But… your bills keep coming even if your truck isn’t bringing in the money. Owner-operators, motor carriers, and fleets who lose the use of their vehicles following an accident are stripped of their income-making capacity, playing havoc with their livelihood and bottom line profit.
Large losses of revenue add up quickly. It’s important to take action immediately.
