What Type of Accident Did You Suffer from a Fatigued Truck Driver?
There isn’t just one type of accident you could suffer injuries in from a fatigued truck driver. There are various types, but some are more common than others. A Sacramento truck accident lawyer from our firm could help you recover compensation if you were in any of the following types of accidents:
- Rear-end collisions: Fatigued truck drivers may fail to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, leading to rear-end collisions. The reduced reaction time and impaired judgment can prevent them from stopping in time, resulting in significant damage and potential injuries.
- Lane departure accidents: Driver fatigue can cause truck drivers to drift out of their lane or completely cross into adjacent lanes. This can result in side-swipe, head-on collisions, or collisions with other vehicles in the affected lanes.
- Jackknife accidents: Fatigued truck drivers may struggle to maintain control of their vehicles, leading to jackknife accidents. This occurs when the trailer swings out to the side, forming a “V” shape with the truck, potentially colliding with other vehicles or causing multi-vehicle accidents.
- Rollover accidents: Driver fatigue can impair a truck driver’s ability to react to sudden changes in road conditions or take appropriate evasive actions. This increases the risk of rollover accidents, particularly when taking on curves or obstacles on the road.
- Intersection collisions: Fatigued truck drivers may fail to observe traffic signals, stop signs, or yield signs at intersections, leading to accidents with other vehicles. These collisions can occur due to delayed reactions, misjudgment of distances, or falling asleep at the wheel.
If you’re unsure if your accident type or injuries qualify, one of our Sacramento driver fatigue truck accident lawyers can help. Our law firm gives our clients free consultations to assess their cases and determine their eligibility for compensation.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Sacramento Truck Crash Claim?
When pursuing a claim for a Sacramento truck accident, it’s essential to understand the statute of limitations. The time window within which you must file a lawsuit is referred to as the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations in California is typically two years from the accident date for personal injury claims, including claims involving truck accidents. It’s critical to be aware of this deadline and act quickly to protect your rights.
If you don’t file your claim within the deadline, you won’t be able to recover any damages. To avoid this, you need to get in touch with an experienced Sacramento truck crash lawyer as soon as possible to meet all necessary deadlines.
One of our Sacramento personal injury attorneys can guide you through the legal process, making sure that all necessary documents are filed on time and that you file your claim within the statute of limitations. Keep in mind that there may be exceptions to the standard statute of limitations depending on the circumstances of your case. For instance, if the truck crash resulted in a fatality, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim may differ.
