Holding Negligent Truck Drivers Accountable
Sacramento experiences a great deal of truck traffic driving from and into the Bay Area and towards Reno and Tahoe. As a result, truck accidents in and around Sacramento and Stockton are not unusual. Excessive speeding, reckless driving, and driver fatigue are involved in a number of truck accidents due to increased pressure for drivers and trucking companies to cut costs while increasing efficiency.
At the Dolan Law Firm, our Sacramento County trucking accident attorneys work with experience truck accident investigators to determine the cause of a truck accident. Since most trucking companies train drivers in what to say in order to avoid liability and fault, you can't count on a truck driver to admit to his or her fault. That's why our Sacramento County trucking accident attorneys analyze debris from the scene of an accident, measure skid marks, recover data from a truck's GPS system and on-board black box data recorder.
We expose negligent driving on the part of truck drivers who fail to drive safely. To schedule a free consultation and discuss your case, contact Sacramento County trucking accident attorneys at the Dolan Law Firm today.
The Cost of Your Injuries - Determining Compensation
Most truck accidents involve head trauma, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, amputations, and serious burns. In cases where paraplegia or quadriplegia result, medical complications can occur later in life years after a truck accident. To accurately determine the financial effect of a truck accident, our Sacramento County trucking accident attorneys work closely with medical economists and life care planners. In doing so, our lawyers consider initial medical costs as well as future costs associated with physical therapy, medical equipment, medicine, nursing care, and lost wages.
Life after a Truck Accident - Securing Your Financial Future
Due to the catastrophic nature of most truck accident injuries, you may want to consider a structured settlement or establishing a special needs trust with any settlement or award money from your case. In both cases, there may be certain tax advantages to doing so. Our Sacramento County trucking accident attorneys, in conjunction with certified financial planners, will discuss the various issues involved and what makes the most sense for you given your medical needs and current financial situation.
