North Hollywood Truck Accident Lawyers

Semis travel everywhere along California’s interstates and highways, such as on Highway 170, Highway 101, and Highway 134. Unfortunately, big rigs and smaller passenger vehicle traffic collisions also happen on these same roadways.  If your big rig wreck happened anywhere in the San Fernando Valley, it’s time to contact experienced North Hollywood truck accident lawyers.

Why is getting an attorney necessary? Without a knowledgeable lawyer, you risk losing thousands–if not millions–of dollars that you could be entitled to recover for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages. After all, a Southern California injury attorney will know how to maximize your rightful amount of compensation. Without their legal experience, you may miss out.

How a North Hollywood Truck Accident Lawyer Can Maximize Your Financial Compensation

There are many ways your attorney may work on your behalf  to maximize the amount of financial compensation you are entitled to recover. One involves establishing all parties that may be at fault for a North Hollywood truck accident. It may be one party or there may be  multiple parties that contributed to the cause of your accident, either through negligence or recklessness. 

For example, a fatigued driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel and hit your vehicle, leading directly to your injuries. But, due to the vicarious doctrine, their trucking company may be partly liable too. Or, perhaps you could have stopped your car in time, but your brakes failed. Then, the manufacturer of your defective brakes may also be liable for injuries and other damages.

Another way is through negotiations. Your attorney will work to ensure you get as much financial compensation in your settlement as possible. They will consider all the damages you face as a direct result of your injuries and calculate a fair amount. 

These past, present, and future expenses may include future lost wages from never being able to return to work, costs related to medical care, or costs for adaptive equipment and required home modifications.
