Trucking accidents are often devastating, and they can also be complicated from a legal perspective.
In 2021, there were 5,601 fatalities in the U.S. involving at least one large truck.
If you or a loved one was injured in a trucking accident, it is important to seek professional legal counsel from an experienced semi-truck wreck lawyer.
Most people do not have a truck wreck lawyer on speed dial, which means doing extensive research or choosing the first law firm that comes up in your search engine.
Unfortunately, many review sites display rankings that have been paid for, and the first several attorneys at the top of your search engine results are likely sponsored.
To help you navigate the task of choosing the best attorney for your case, we have put together a short list of the best truck accident lawyers in Los Angeles.
Why Should You Contact a Semi-Truck Wreck Lawyer?
There are a lot of reasons semi-truck accidents occur, and not all accidents are the driver’s fault. In some cases, there may be multiple parties to blame, which is one of the reasons that trucking accident cases can get complicated.
When an accident involves a commercial vehicle, it usually means there are higher insurance limits and more pushback from companies with the resources to negotiate. That said, these cases can also result in substantial settlements and verdicts.
An experienced semi-truck wreck attorney can conduct an independent investigation into the facts of your claim to determine who is at fault and whom you should file your claim against.
When you’re backed with appropriate evidence and legal muscle, the process of getting the compensation you deserve is likely to be much smoother and less stressful than if you were to navigate the system alone.
Who Is Liable in a California Truck Accident?
In many circumstances, companies can be held vicariously liable for the actions of their employees as long as the accident took place while the employee was doing their job.
Trucking companies may be legally responsible for the actions of their drivers, so it is important to understand what caused the wreck. Depending on the nature of the truck wreck, more than one party may be liable for your injuries, such as:
- The truck driver for their negligent actions,
- The trucking company either for the actions of the driver or their own negligence,
- The truck leasing company if there was a problem with a leased truck,
- The truck parts manufacturer if a defective part contributed to or caused the wreck,
- The cargo loader for unsafe loading,
- The truck mechanic for inadequate maintenance or repairs, or
- A government municipality for improperly marked or maintained roadways.
Many of these parties are required to carry large insurance policies because of the nature of their work
That means the insurance company that owns their policy has more to lose when they pay out a semi-truck wreck claim than claims for other types of vehicle collisions. It is not uncommon for claims to be undervalued by the insurance company, leaving you with less than what you need to cover the extent of your injuries.
Never accept an unfair settlement. Once you accept, you cannot go back and ask for more. A truck wreck lawyer can help you understand the value of your claim based on your current expenses and a professional estimate of future expenses.
