Numerous factors cause California truck accidents. Some of the leading causes include:
Liability depends on the cause of your accident. At Jacoby & Meyers, our attorneys thoroughly investigate accidents to help identify all possible causes and all potentially liable parties.
Some parties that may be liable in a California truck accident include:
Determining the cause and liable parties in your accident is essential to the success of your claim.
Our attorneys work diligently to uncover and gather the evidence needed to build your strongest case and prove causation and liability.
If you are partially to blame for the accident that caused your injuries, you may still be able to recover compensation for damages.
California follows a pure comparative negligence model that allows a plaintiff to recover damages even if they are partially at fault. This is true even if you are 99% at fault.
However, the amount of compensation you can recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.
For example, if you are found to be 75% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you may still be able to recover $25,000 in compensation after deducting your percentage of fault.
Insurance companies and defense attorneys will work hard to shift as much blame for the accident to you to help reduce the amount they must pay.
At Jacoby & Meyers, our attorneys will protect your rights and work tirelessly to prevent or minimize any fault assignment to you.
The evidence used to prove your claim will depend on the specific facts of your case.
However, some common evidence used in California truck accident injury claims includes:
Our attorneys meticulously select the evidence submitted to present your strongest case and help you recover maximum compensation.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that there were 13,444 truck crashes resulting in 390 deaths in our state last year. And according to the National Safety Council, California was second only to Texas for the number of deaths occurring from commercial truck crashes.
If you are injured or lose a loved one in a truck accident caused by someone else, you may be entitled to recover significant compensation. However, the insurance companies and defense attorneys will be working to deny or devalue your claim so they can pay you as little as possible for your damages. You need real help from a California truck accident lawyer you can trust.
At Jacoby & Meyers, our California truck accident lawyers have helped thousands of accident victims and their families secure maximum compensation, and we are committed to helping you get the justice and financial recovery you deserve.
California truck accidents often result in fatalities or catastrophic injuries. Victims may need expensive long-term medical care and may be unable to return to work. Truck accident injury victims and their families need to secure maximum compensation for their damages.
However, trucking companies and their insurance companies work quickly after an accident and are often on the scene within minutes. They immediately begin working to defend against your claim, hoping to shift blame to you and find a way to avoid liability. You need an aggressive, skilled California truck accident lawyer to protect your right to recover the compensation you deserve.
Your chances of recovering maximum compensation are significantly higher when an experienced California truck accident lawyer represents you. Your lawyer can investigate your accident to identify all possible causes and liable parties. They can take action to preserve vital evidence before it is lost or destroyed and uncover essential proof to build your case.
Your attorney can help establish and accurately value all current and future damages so you know what a fair settlement of your claim would be. They can work to reach a fair settlement of your claim as quickly as possible. And when a fair settlement is not reached, your attorney can take your case to trial to recover the compensation you are entitled to.
You may worry whether you can afford to hire a California truck accident lawyer for your truck accident case. The good news is that at Jacoby & Meyers, we handle your case on a contingency fee basis.
This means that we cover all costs of pursuing your claim upfront, and you owe nothing until we recover your compensation. This allows you to aggressively pursue the damages you are owed without risking any of your current assets.
A statute of limitations is a law that sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit in a personal injury case. If you miss your filing deadline, you cannot recover any compensation for your damages.
The California statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including a California truck accident injury claim, is two years from the date of the accident, as outlined in California Code of Civil Procedure §335.1.
However, there are exceptions to this statute of limitations, so you must promptly consult an experienced California truck accident lawyer to ensure you do not miss your filing deadline.
If you have been injured in a California truck accident caused by another party, you may be able to recover significant compensation for your damages. However, insurance companies and defense attorneys work hard to settle your claim for as little as possible.
You need an experienced California truck accident lawyer to protect your rights and help you secure the financial compensation you are entitled to. At Jacoby & Meyers, our truck accident lawyers have been helping injury victims and their families recover maximum compensation for decades, and we are committed to helping you recover every dollar you are owed.
