Examples of construction trucks and heavy machinery that may be involved in an accident include:
Because of construction trucks’ size and weight, colliding with one, even at slow speeds, can cause debilitating injuries or death. Survivors of a construction truck accident may be left with broken bones, paralysis, lost limbs, severe burns, chemical burns and/or crush injuries.
Like all vehicle accidents, there are numerous potential causes of accidents involving construction trucks or machinery. Some leading causes include:
If you or a family member has suffered an accident with a construction truck, then you know costs of medical bills, vehicle repair or replacement, property damage and lost earnings from time off work can add up fast. While hiring a lawyer may sound like an added expense, it is actually the best way to ensure you recover damages for your personal injuries, death of a loved one, and/or other costs related to the accident and your recovery.
Premier Truck Accident Lawyers has decades of experience fighting for California accident victims and is prepared to help you recover as much compensation as possible. We work on a contingent fee basis, meaning you do not pay us unless we achieve a settlement or judgement. For a free case evaluation, fill out this form on our website or call 866-999-9085.
Importantly, we advise that you do not communicate with the opposing party’s insurance claims adjuster. Insurance companies will try to sweep your claim under the rug with a cheap, quick settlement. With Premier Truck Accident Lawyers on your side, you are better equipped to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Besides hiring a trusted attorney, you can strengthen your case by doing the following:
Take photos of the accident scene, including the involved vehicles, bodily injuries and any other details that may be relevant.
Request police reports from the accident.
Gather all relevant identification and insurance information for both yourself and the construction truck driver or company.
Gather all relevant medical records and bills.
You should not admit fault for the accident or try to negotiate with the opposing party’s insurance company yourself.
Depending on the specific circumstances of your accident, Premier Truck Accident Lawyers may help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, disability, wrongful death, lost wages and/or pain and suffering.
California is an at-fault state, meaning that one or more drivers will be found responsible for a crash and held liable to pay for the costs of injuries and property damage. Parties in an accident can be found fully at fault or partially at fault. In most construction truck accident cases, you can pursue legal action if the other party has been found at least partially at fault. If you’re not sure who was at fault in your accident, an experienced Premier Truck Accident Lawyers attorney can examine your case and help clarify any questions you may have.
