Start Protecting Yourself Now
It's Easy to Start Your Journey to Justice on the Right Foot
- Reach out to a personal injury law firm as soon as possible after the truck accident.
- Seek medical attention, even if you don't think you need it.
- Don't speak to any insurance companies that reach out to you; they are most likely hoping you will say something that will hurt your case, or trying to get you to take a lowball settlement. Tell them they'll have to speak to your lawyer or offer to put them in touch with your lawyer once you have hired one.
- Make copies of all digital evidence (photos of your own vehicle and the tractor trailer, videos, form documents) by either uploading it to a cloud service or emailing it to yourself.
- Don't mention your truck crash on social media. Your public statements, pictures, and other content could be used against you.
It's Time to Call Landay Roberts LLP
The State of California grants a two-year statute of limitations on filing a truck accident claim in most cases. That time will pass quickly, and evidence will only become more difficult to collect. By involving our San Diego attorneys now, you can focus on healing while we gather evidence, analyze the police report, and handle the claim process. We only get paid if your case is a success, so you can depend on us to focus our efforts on a maximum settlement or jury award. Request your free consultation now — we will put you in contact with our truck accident lawyers as soon as possible.
What Types of Damages Can I Collect by Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit?
Commercial truck accidents cause a range of losses that can be recuperated through personal injury claims. When you hire our San Diego personal injury office, you can expect that we will pursue every dime of compensation you are owed. With our legal representation, here are the damages you can collect from the liable parties:
Medical Bills
The cost of medical care for injuries suffered in a truck accident can be astronomical. Our San Diego attorneys are prepared to collect compensation for medical care you have already received, as well as what you are likely to need in the future. This can include physical rehabilitation, ongoing care, modifications to your home to make it wheelchair accessible, and much more.
Lost Wages
Truck accident victims rarely go straight back to work when they leave the scene of the crash. It could be months before you are able to return to your job, if you are able to return at all. Our attorneys intend to collect compensation for the wages you have already lost, as well as the wages you will likely lose in the future due to temporary or permanent disability.
Property Damage
Big trucks outweigh passenger vehicles by many tons, making it unlikely that your vehicle can be repaired after a collision. Our attorneys can help you collect compensation for your vehicle as well as any other personal property that was damaged in the accident.
Pain and Suffering
The physical injuries resulting from crashes involving commercial vehicles are the most visible, but the psychological distress is also significant. The anxiety, depression, and overwhelming unease that these accidents cause victims will be accounted for in your case. We will pursue restitution that can give you access to counseling and other resources so that you can experience physical and emotional healing.
Punitive Damages
These are damages intended to punish the defendant for gross negligence. For example, if a truck driver was intoxicated, a jury may decide to award you punitive damages to discourage this behavior in the future. Punitive damages are not commonly awarded, but if we believe they are reasonable in your case, you can trust that we will work to convince a jury.
