A Commercial Truck Accident In California

Being in an automobile accident is bad enough, but when a commercial tractor-trailer is involved, everything is magnified. Semi-trucks are heavy and tend to cause more severe injuries. Even if you’re physically unhurt, big rigs tend to cause more property damage to your vehicle.

Worse yet, instead of dealing with one driver’s insurance company, you can end up dealing with the trucking company’s insurance company plus the driver’s insurance company. Factor in the driver may not be an owner-operator, and you may have claims against their employer.

Finally, federal and state safety and insurance regulations may come into play. Everything can get more and more complex.

However, there’s no reason to worry. We handle all of this for you. We’re well-versed on California law applying to commercial truck accidents. We know what the truck driver was supposed to be doing and how they were supposed to be doing it. We have decades of experience handling cases involving the trucking industry, and we’ll use it to help you win your case.

Have You Been Injured By A Commercial Truck?

Every year there are over two hundred thousand accidents in California, and many of them involve trucks. If you’ve been injured by the driver of a commercial vehicle, we can help. Following an accident like this, no matter how you feel, you should see your doctor immediately. The forces involved with large trucks, even with small bumps, can cause severe physical trauma to your body.

It’s common to not feel injuries for a day or so due to the body releasing adrenaline caused by the accident. Adrenaline will keep you going for a while, but the sooner you seek medical attention, the better. It doesn’t take a lot of force to break a bone, twist your neck, or wrench your back.

When you’re dealing with commercial trucks, there’s a large amount of force involved. If you don’t know where to go or who to call, you can always start by contacting us. We’ve worked with some of the most exceptional physicians throughout California. We can provide direction on where to start.

Additionally, when you call us, we can immediately get started on your case and remove the stress of dealing with insurance companies or other lawyers. We want you to focus on your recovery.

Commercial truck accidents usually involve large companies with aggressive insurance companies. Trucking companies will instantly go on the defensive because they understand how severe injuries can be. They know they’ll have to pay, and their job is to pay as little as possible. They will immediately move to minimize their payout, all while you’re still recovering from your injuries.

We Aggressively Go After Your Highest Possible Settlement

A truck accident can change your entire life. There may be injuries, your vehicle could be totaled, and you may need a rental car. Also, if you miss work, there are lost wages to consider.

The stress of an accident also makes it difficult to recall what you were doing right before the impact. Insurance companies love to prey on this uncertainty. They’ll try to convince you to admit to something you didn’t do. That’ll allow them to save money in the lawsuit. Let us do all the talking and answer all the questions on your behalf. We’ll do our best to get you a speedy resolution. We don’t want you to worry about the lawsuit on top of everything you’re dealing with.

You Pay Nothing Until We Win Your Case

The last thing you need to worry about during this stressful time is how you’re going to pay for legal bills. That’s not even an issue, and here’s why.

We only get paid after we’ve collected a settlement for you. We handle everything. We collect your medical records. We collect all the bills from your repair shop and everything else that needs to be submitted. We ensure all of your injuries and damages are accounted for.

Most importantly, we go toe-to-toe with all of the insurance companies involved to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. You won’t deal with complicated insurance company paperwork trying to convince you to jump through hoops in the hopes you get frustrated and go away.

Our goal is to make the process of getting what you’re owed as painless and seamless as possible. We’ll be here every step of the way with you.

We Come To You If You Can’t Come To Us!

One of the things that set us apart is we’ll come to you to discuss your case. We realize you may be too injured to come to us. We know that during this time, your time is precious.

Are You In The Santa Cruz Area?

Great! We’ll come to you to analyze your case. The last thing you need to do during this stressful time is to leave your home and fight traffic for an in-office meeting.

Are You Outside The Santa Cruz Area?

No problem. We’ll set up a remote video conference and discuss the particulars of your case without you having to leave home. This is also the perfect choice if you have health issues and would rather not have an in-home visit.

The Three Most Important Things To Do If You’ve Just Been In A Truck Accident

Step 1. Go to the emergency room, or see your doctor, if you’re not taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Call us before that if at all possible. We can refer you to a doctor who’ll take care of you without you having to pay them right away. You need to get checked out even if you think you feel okay. Injuries from accidents sometimes don’t show up until later in the day or over the next several days.

When a sudden accident happens, your body releases adrenaline into your bloodstream. It’s designed to give you the strength to get out of what it thinks is a life-threatening situation. It deadens pain and affects how your brain functions. For these reasons, it’s incredibly common for people, even with severe injuries, to not feel them. This can cause people to think they’re fine, only to later realize they have severe injuries.

Any delay in medical care can also make your injuries worse. Please see a doctor immediately after an accident.

Step 2. Are you feeling any numbness anywhere? This could be a significant red flag.

Spinal injuries are nothing to take lightly. Some are mild, and some serious, but either way, you’ll have issues if you suffer a spinal injury, so it’s imperative to see a doctor. The sooner you’re diagnosed and treated, the better the chances of you making a full recovery.

Step 3. Remember, you can see the best doctor for your type of injury without having to pay upfront if you call us first.

We’ve worked with several medical professionals. We’ve been with our clients from the initial injuries to the final outcomes. We recommend some of the best doctors who’ll immediately start treatment without you having to pay. These doctors understand you’re hurt now, and you may be having to take time off work to heal.

They also understand we’ll fight on your behalf to get the best possible recovery. These doctors will do everything to help you heal, and we’ll do everything to ensure the insurance companies pay for it.

The Three Most Important Things NOT TO DO If You’ve Just Been In A Truck Accident

  1. DO NOT admit fault at the scene, ever. Insurance companies may use anything you say to avoid paying you. You’ve just been in an accident, and your body may be injured. Seek medical attention and let our attorneys do the talking for you.
  2. DO NOT make a recorded statement without one of our lawyers present. The insurance company will try to get you to do this soon after the accident. They know you’re still confused and may say something they can creatively manipulate to save them money.
  3. DO NOT cash a check the insurance company tries to hand over to you right away. By cashing it, you may give up your rights to further settlement money. If they’re putting a check in your hands, you can be sure they know they owe you far more.

As expert truck accident attorneys, we’re prepared to handle the worst accidents.
