Do you know what to do if you’re hurt in an accident involving a big rig? Or, are you wondering exactly what it is that an experienced trucking accidents lawyer could do to help? Belal Hamideh, a trucking accidents lawyer in California who has helped so many to recover the compensation they deserve, can help.
Of all the different kinds of vehicular accidents, these can be some of the most difficult. These trucks are, on average, so much larger than passenger vehicles that the injuries can be more devastating.
It’s our privilege to represent individuals throughout California. Now, we can do the same for you. Belal offers free case evaluation where he will tell you what your case is worth in addition to all of the ways he can help you to receive it.
A Trucking Accidents Lawyer Can Help You Against the Insurance Companies
Cases involving truck accidents can be very complex. That’s just one of the factors that makes it extremely difficult for victims to try their cases on their own.
Another: trucking companies are ruthless in defending themselves against lawsuits. They tend to have teams of investigators they dispatch to the accident almost immediately. Trucking companies work hand in hand with the insurance companies to do everything in their power to ensure people like you receive little to nothing for your suffering.
Having an experienced attorney by your side makes it far, far less likely that this will occur. Belal represents his clients as aggressively as possible. That way, you have a much better chance of receiving compensation.
An Attorney Can Get You Compensation for All Liable Parties
Truck accidents can be more complicated than car accidents, where one driver and their insurance company may be liable. In a truck accident, however, there are often many parties who could potentially be at fault. Truck drivers themselves are often liable, but other parties could be, too.
If the owners of the truck failed to comply with necessary safety rules and regulations, they too could be at fault, as could any manufacturer who sold the truck despite defects. Any mechanic who doesn’t properly repair a truck could be at fault, as could whoever loaded cargo onto the truck incorrectly. Even the owner of where the accident took place could be at fault, should they be responsible for the conditions (even partially) that led to the accident.
An attorney with experience in truck accident cases can find exactly who’s at fault on your behalf so that you have the best chance of receiving all of the compensation you deserve from all of the parties who have wronged you.
That said, you can still recover damages and receive compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident. Your case could come under the rules of “comparative negligence.” That means that your recovery may be lessened proportionally in terms of how much of the accident was your fault. If you were 30% at fault, for example, you may receive 30% less compensation than you would otherwise.
The truth is that when you’re in a truck accident, there is only really so much you can do. Your car is smaller than a truck and it can be very difficult to get your car out of the way of a truck, no matter how experienced a driver you are. Our team can work to find all of the parties responsible so that liability for your case is put where it belongs.
A Lawyer Can Help You to Recover Maximum Compensation
You can claim economic and non-economic damages (compensation) in a truck accident. Economic damages give you money for all that you’ve had to pay for in the wake of your accident. Any medical expenses that you may have had, such as therapy, counseling, treatment,and even bills for the ambulance can be claimed.
You could also be paid lost wages for the money you would have made had you been working if you hadn’t been in the accident. Should you be unable to go back to work, you can receive the money you would have made, too.
You could receive money to repair your vehicle or even to replace it. Compensation for catastrophic injuries, such as modifications to your home and in-home care, may also be available.
Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, as well as any anxiety and emotional distress you may have gone through. Disfigurement and the loss of a limb or any body part are considered non-economic damages. You can also receive compensation for the loss of your quality of life and loss of consortium and much more.
We can let you know what your claim could be worth during a free case evaluation. Then, we’ll get right to work on your behalf.
