Determining Liability in a Truck Accident

Liability in a truck accident case can be complicated, as fault often involves more than just the truck driver. Identifying all responsible parties is important to preparing a claim strong enough to allow you to pursue maximum compensation with confidence. At Alvandi Law Group, P.C., we can investigate the details of your accident to uncover every contributing factor and party, so that liability is assigned correctly.

Common parties potentially responsible for a truck accident include:

• Trucking company: Companies can be held liable for negligent hiring practices, inadequate training, or poor oversight of their drivers. They can also be responsible for any accident caused by a worker acting on behalf of the company through a legal rule known as respondeat superior.
• Truck driver: Some truck drivers are independently contracted and self-insured. If you were hit by such a truck driver, your case might be filed primarily against them.
• Cargo loading team: Improperly balanced, unsecured, or overloaded cargo can cause trucks to become unstable and lead to accidents. The company in charge of loading and securing cargo could be partially liable in such a case.
• Truck manufacturer: Defective vehicle parts or design flaws that cause malfunctions can make manufacturers liable if a defect causes a truck accident.
• Maintenance provider: If a trucking company hires a third-party company to inspect and maintain their fleets, the maintenance provider might become liable for a crash if its mistakes contributed to it. For example, poor inspection methods or inadequate repairs can result in mechanical failures and subsequent crashes.

Will a Truck Accident Claim Be Worth A Lot?

The value of a truck accident claim depends on many factors, including the extent of your injuries, the severity of the accident, and the degree of negligence of the defendant. Many truck accident survivors face overwhelming financial burdens, from steep medical bills to long-term rehabilitation costs. Let us fight for a full recovery on your behalf, either through attempted negotiations or litigation.

Potential damages in a truck accident claim include:

• Economic Damages:
  • Medical bills for immediate treatments, surgeries, and future care.
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity due to the inability to work.
  • Expenses for repairing or replacing a damaged vehicle.
  • Out-of-pocket costs related to care and recovery.
• Non-Economic Damages:
  • Pain and suffering resulting from traumatic injuries.
  • Emotional distress and anxiety following the accident.
  • Loss of enjoyment of life due to lasting impairments.
• Punitive Damages:
  • In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded if the defendant acted with extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct.

How Much Time Do You Have to File a Truck Accident Claim?

If you want to file a truck accident claim, act quickly. California’s statute of limitations generally gives you just two years from the date of the truck accident to file a personal injury claim in court. Missing this deadline could bar you from seeking compensation entirely.

However, certain circumstances may change this time limit. For example, if your claim involves a truck owned by a government entity, the timeline to file may be much shorter. To know how much time you have to file a truck accident claim in Tustin, and to learn about why it is important to get your case moving sooner rather than later, reach out to our legal team.
