truck accident injuries and lawsuits in california

In 2006, in California alone, there were 423 deaths resulting from collisions with trucks. Injuries resulting from accidents involving trucks can be catastrophic; severe injuries of the brain, spinal cord, and paralysis are common in such cases. Life, as the victims of these accidents knew it, will never be the same again. Therefore, the knowledge and expertise of an experienced personal injury lawyer is paramount for retention of victims’ rights in each unique case.

A truck accident can be extremely traumatizing for a victim unfortunate enough to become yet another statistic while traveling on the highways and roads of Los Angeles, California. According to a nationwide report, every 40 seconds a truck accident occurs. Victims are many; and all should seek immediate medical and legal representation. Insurance companies may be quick to offer victims a settlement, which, in most cases, is grossly inadequate and should not be considered. Consulting an attorney can be a critical step in your healing process.

The cause of these accidents involve various types of trucks; delivery trucks, semis, big rigs, UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc., and occur for a number of reasons including, driver fatigue, jack-knifing, driver error, improper or unsafe equipment, shedding of loads, speed, drug and alcohol abuse, over-scheduling, and driver inexperience. These reasons equal negligence and wrongdoing, and the offending party must be held liable to pay for victim’s hospital and surgeon’s bills, doctor bills, physical therapy costs, all expenses incurred, plus compensation for pain and suffering.

Following an accident, the victim’s life may spiral downward, and, unfortunately, in some cases, the state of their mental health can closely follow suit, resulting in depression and total despair. Family life may suddenly be thrown into utter chaos, as members of the family unit are forced to take on new roles they don’t particularly care for. Loss of lifestyle can lend itself to bad feeling, especially among younger family members, who don’t fully understand the gravity of the situation. Important household bills may remain unpaid; mortgage, electricity, car payments, credit card bills. Living “on the edge” becomes the norm, giving way to an extreme lack of funds driving a wedge between family members. As each day passes; poverty seems to be just around the corner.
