Can I Recover Compensation After My Truck Accident?
Victims of car accidents have the right to seek full and fair compensation from those who caused their accident. Your first step is to prove negligence, demonstrating the truck driver or company violated a duty of care, caused the accident, and the accident led to your injuries.
Once we establish this through the evidence available, including after our comprehensive investigation, we will begin to look at the injuries you have. We assess all ways in which your accident caused you to suffer and place value on them. Some of the economic and non-economic losses you may be able to claim after a truck accident include:
- Medical expenses, including medical care costs, emergency medical transportation, hospitalizations, recovery, and rehabilitation
- Medical and healthcare for ongoing needs and future treatment requirements
- Property damage to fix or replace your vehicle c
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, including loss of quality of life, loss of consortium, and ongoing chronic pain
- Emotional and mental health complications, including the onset of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and disabling anxiety
If you are suffering from catastrophic injuries, including disability, loss of vision or hearing, or loss of cognitive function, your losses could be substantially more. Our truck accident attorney in San Ramon has experience working hand-in-hand with accident victims to recover financial compensation critical to paying for your future extensive needs.
How To Prove Negligence in a San Ramon Truck Accident
The core to obtaining compensation after a truck accident is to prove negligence. Under California law, we must demonstrate the following to hold the at-fault party responsible for your injuries and losses:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care. This is applicable if that driver is on the roadway as that act in itself demonstrates their understanding of the need to keep others safe.
- The at-fault party breached the duty of care. This may occur in various ways, such as speeding, illegal lane changes, cargo spilling, distracted driving, or violations of safety laws.
- The breach of that duty caused the accident. We demonstrate that the violations directly caused the accident to occur using evidence.
- The accident caused your injuries and losses. It is critical to get medical care right after your accident to fully demonstrate that your injuries stem directly from the accident.
To do this, our attorneys gather and preserve all evidence available in your case. That includes information from police reports and our investigation. We investigate your case comprehensively, including obtaining data from commercial “black boxes” on trucks, medical reports from the driver, and vehicle maintenance logs. This information enables our team to build a strong, clear claim of negligence.
Our San Ramon truck accident attorney does not just settle for easy information and evidence. We strive to uncover all risks and losses so that all parties responsible are held accountable.
Who Can Be Liable for a Truck Accident?
Liability in a truck accident is not always just for the driver. It may be more than one party. Some examples of who may be liable for a truck accident include:
- The truck driver: Often from distracted driving, intoxicated driving, speeding, or other reckless behaviors
- The trucking company: If Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations are not met, vehicles are not maintained, or drivers are untrained.
- Truck manufacturers: Commonly associated with vehicle design defects and failures related to them
- Truck cargo loading companies: In situations where the cargo spills from the truck or shifts, causing the accident
- Truck maintenance providers: Failures to perform duties to keep trucks safe can fall on the shoulders of the maintenance and repair technicians
Each party responsible should be held accountable. We strive to ensure that always happens when our victim’s future is on the line.
What Attorney Fees Will I Need To Pay for a Truck Accident Lawsuit?
You pay attorney fees only after you win your case and receive a settlement. If you do not win your case, you do not pay us anything. The cost to you at that point is a percentage of your settlement. This differs based on the complexity of your case. When you meet with our attorneys for a free consultation, we will provide insight and transparency into what we charge.
