If you’ve been injured in an unmaintained truck accident in California, a lawyer can help you file a claim or lawsuit against the party responsible for the crash.

California Unmaintained Truck Accident Lawyer

Obtaining the Triumph You Deserve

SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION

Unmaintained trucks pose a significant safety risk to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in California. When trucking companies and tractor-trailer owners fail to keep their 18-wheelers in good condition, serious accidents, injuries, and financial losses can occur.

If you’ve been hurt in an accident caused by a poorly maintained truck, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. However, seeking compensation after such an accident can be difficult without a truck accident attorney. Contact a California unmaintained truck accident lawyer from Triumph Law to improve your chances of receiving a fair payment.

    Benefits of Hiring an Attorney After an Unmaintained Truck Crash

    If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by an unmaintained 18-wheeler, hiring an attorney can help you get the compensation and justice you deserve. A California unmaintained truck accident attorney can take a number of actions to strengthen your claim and obtain the damages you’re owed.

    content-bg-3

    Here’s what your lawyer can do to make sure your case reaches a favorable conclusion:

    Investigate the Accident

    To convince insurers or the court that the at-fault party should be held liable for your expenses, your attorney must collect evidence related to the collision. Most importantly, your lawyer must find evidence that the truck in question didn’t receive appropriate maintenance.

    They can obtain copies of the truck’s maintenance and inspection records to find proof that the crash resulted from poor maintenance practices. Your attorney may also work with auto maintenance professionals to inspect the truck and find more evidence to support your case.

    Traffic camera footage of the crash, witness testimony, and photos of the accident scene may also be used to show that the poorly maintained truck caused the accident you were injured in.

    Identify the Liable Party

    The truck driver isn’t always held liable in the typical unmaintained truck accident case. The trucking company that employs them or the service company responsible for maintaining the truck may also be at fault.

    Your attorney will use the evidence they gather to determine who caused the collision. Once they’ve identified the liable party, they’ll file a claim with the appropriate insurance provider. 

    Deal With Stubborn Insurers

    Once your attorney has found the evidence they need to construct a solid claim, they’ll still have to deal with the at-fault party’s insurer carrier. Unfortunately, insurers can be reluctant to honor claims and provide adequate compensation when it comes to auto accidents.

    The insurance company may even contact you before you’ve hired a lawyer to offer you a quick settlement. Early settlement offers are almost always too small to cover all the damages that have been done, so it’s best to consult with a lawyer before you accept an offer.

    Your attorney can calculate your losses and determine if a settlement is substantial enough to help you pay your debts. If you receive an offer that won’t cover all your losses, an unmaintained truck accident lawyer from our team in California can negotiate with the insurer until they agree to offer fair payment. 

    File a Lawsuit on Your Behalf

    Sometimes, insurers refuse to cooperate and either reject a claim or fail to raise a lowball settlement offer. If that happens to you, don’t worry! You can still seek damages via a personal injury lawsuit. While submitting a suit might take longer, it will be your best option.

    An unmaintained truck accident attorney from California can present a compelling, evidence-based case to the court. They’ll represent your best interests throughout the trial and ask that jurors offer the maximum amount of compensation available. 

    Ensure You Receive Fair Compensation

    Regardless of whether your attorney seeks compensation via an insurance claim or lawsuit, they’ll do everything they can to secure the damages you’re entitled to receive. Depending on the losses you’ve taken and the struggles you’ve endured due to the accident, a successful case could yield any of the following damages: 

    • Medical bills
    • Cost of future medical care
    • Prescription medication and rehabilitative therapy costs
    • Vehicle repair expenses
    • Lost wages
    • Decreases earning ability
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress
    • Loss of enjoyment of life

    Our unmaintained truck accident attorneys in California will work hard to recover the correct compensation for each loss and hardship you’ve taken on, but that’s not all they’ll do for you. They can also leverage their connections to ensure you have the resources you need to make it through this difficult time.

    Help You Get the Care and Resources You Need to Move Forward

    At Triumph Law, we don’t just help clients get the compensation they’re owed. We also help them secure quality medical care and loans for accident-related expenses. If you’re having trouble finding a medical provider to address your injuries, we can connect you with a physician who will take care of you.

    We understand that you might be unable to wait until you receive a court verdict to pay some injury-related expenses. If that’s the case, we can set you up with a third-party lender who can help you until you receive compensation from the at-fault party. 

    Other Types of Accidents We Can Help You Recuperate from

    Serious collisions can happen for a number of different reasons, and sometimes, you might not know what caused your accident. If we find that another factor caused your crash, we’ll quickly switch courses, identify the liable party, and build a strategy to hold them accountable for your injuries. 

    We can help you seek maximum compensation for nearly any type of motor vehicle accident, including: 

    • Overloaded truck accident
    • Drunk driving accident
    • Accidents resulting in catastrophic injury
    • Pedestrian accident
    • Commercial vehicle accident
    • Uninsured motorist accident

    Statute of Limitations for Truck Accident Lawsuits in California

    Whether your truck accident was caused by maintenance issues, poorly loaded cargo, or drunk driving, it’s important that you get your lawsuit filed on time. California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 allows you two years before the date of your collision to submit a civil suit. 

    Failure to adhere to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations could stop you from getting the financial support you need to put your injuries behind you. To ensure your suit is filed before its due date, reach out to our unmaintained truck accident lawyers in California today.
