A Negligent Truck Driver or Company May Be Liable
Tractor-trailer and semi-truck accidents are typically caused by driver or company error. However, without a proper investigation, it may be challenging for injury victims to show insurers that they are owed a higher settlement. Our Madera truck accident lawyer is knowledgeable on state and federal trucking and traffic laws, helping clients identify and prove acts of negligence.
Freedman Law has uncovered acts of negligence on behalf of truck drivers and companies, including:
Reckless driving
Aggressive driving
Intoxicated driving
Fatigued driving
Distracted driving
Poorly maintained trucks
Improper driver training
Malfunctioning trucks and tires
Our legal team will investigate every negligent action that contributed to your losses, even if you were partially responsible for the accident.
You Deserve a Fair Award for Losses Caused By a Truck Driver or Company
Injured parties in California may seek monetary compensation for any losses and out-of-pocket expenses incurred because of their injuries. These losses fall into two categories: economic and non-economic damages, both of which can be challenging to prove without a full investigation of the facts and circumstances.
Depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, your Madera truck accident lawyer at Freedman Law may argue for the following civil awards on your behalf:
Medical expenses
Future medical costs
Income and benefits loss
Future lost earnings
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Other recoverable awards
It is essential to understand that time limits apply in California. You generally have up to two years to pursue a claim, but evidence and eyewitness testimony may become unreliable. Freedman Law will immediately get started on your accident investigation and coordinate eyewitnesses so that you have every fighting chance at a fair award.
CA Comparative Negligence Laws Affect the Outcome of Your Case
California is a comparative negligence state, meaning that you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for your accident. State laws require liable parties to pay you according to their percentage of fault. For example, if they contributed 70 percent of the fault, they will owe you 70 percent of your total losses.
