Why Should I Contact a Truck Accident Lawyer?
Truck accident cases can be intricate, more so than other accident cases. Trucking companies can be aggressively defensive in lawsuits, often employing teams of investigators, working in tandem with insurance companies, and the like. Together, they will strive to minimize your compensation.
Another reason to hire an attorney: find all of the liable parties. Oftentimes, multiple defendants may be involved: the driver, the trucking company, a leasing entity, the cargo loading company, the truck manufacturer, among others. Belal, as an experienced Semi Truck Accident Lawyer can pinpoint the culpable party, increasing your chances of receiving your full deserving compensation.
When Should I Contact a Semi Truck Accident Lawyer?
In California, for the most part, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. This is less time than it might seem. With so much else that you might be dealing with in your life, if you think you may have a case, it makes sense to reach out sooner than later.
What Kind of Damages Can I Claim Following a Truck Accident?
Following an injury sustained in a truck accident, economic and non-economic damages can be claimed. Economic damages compensate you for post-accident expenses including medical treatments like therapy and counseling, ambulance bills, lost wages, vehicle repair or replacement costs, and even modifications to your home or in-home care due to catastrophic injuries.
Non-economic damages are received for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement or loss of body parts, decreased quality of life, and loss of companionship (consortium). We represent you aggressively to ensure you receive all your deserving compensation.
What If I’m Partially At Fault for the Truck Accident?
Even if you share liability for the accident, you may still recover damages under the “comparative negligence” rule. This rule proportionally reduces your recovery to the extent of your fault. For instance, if you’re 30% at fault, your compensation might be reduced by 30%, leaving you with 70% of the compensation. In truck accidents, your smaller car often stands little chance against a massive truck, despite your driving skills.
