Commercial truck accidents differ from passenger car accidents in several ways. The destructive force of a big rig is much greater than that of a car, so injuries and property damage are likely to be more severe. And the many hands at work in the trucking industry make it harder to determine who was actually at fault for the crash. In such high-stakes cases, where the losses are great and the proof is difficult to assemble, you need an experienced attorney who will fight tenaciously for your rights. Since 1955, Haley Law Offices P.C. has managed complex litigation arising from commercial truck accidents. We’ve shown that we have what it takes to prevail at trial, and that gives us added leverage in settlement talks. We’re determined to fight as long and as hard as it takes to get you a result you think is fair.
To succeed in your claim for compensation, you must identify the party responsible and prove fault for the accident. Because the commercial trucking industry involves so many actors at different levels, it can be difficult to pinpoint who caused the accident. Possible parties include:
The process of identifying the responsible party can be complex, involving extensive investigation of company records and highly technical accident reconstruction. Your attorney must know how to orchestrate a high-level investigation and how to deal with large insurance companies that aggressively defend claims against their clients. Insurers will use California’s comparative negligence law in truck accidents even more aggressively than they do in auto accidents and motorcycle accidents, to try to prove that you contributed to the accident, so they can limit the amount they have to pay. Haley Law provides the determined representation you need to overcome these obstacles and obtain a fair financial recovery through settlement or trial.
