Trucking Accident Fatalities Pose a Concern to California Motorists

Do you know that every single day on our beloved California roads there are trucking accidents. Emery Ledger of Ledger & Associates says that most of them are caused by one of the following:

• Distracted driver.

• Tired driver.

• Intoxicated driver.

• Inexperienced driver.

• Inappropriate load.

• Mechanical failure.

Can you imagine what it would be like to lose a loved one due to a perhaps preventable mistake or negligence? Perhaps a death or catastrophic injury that could have been prevented. Unfortunately there are entire too many Californians that can relate to the above – that have been through such a nightmare. Hopefully every single one of those victims of negligent trucking accidents has someone fighting for their legal and financial rights.

Tons of Steel

If you or a loved one have been involved in a negligent trucking collision, then you may know what it's like ton have tons of steel barreling down on you. The result from trucking accidents is often serious bodily damage, head trauma, loss of property and even lost wages from missed days at work.

Do I Have a Claim?

Do you have a wrongful death claim? Was a loved one killed because of the negligence of another party or parties? If this is the situation, you (surviving family members, dependents or beneficiaries) may be entitled to financial damages as the result of the defendant's negligent actions. Wondering what a wrongful death lawsuit is? In short, it's a death caused, in whole or part, by the negligent conduct of the defendant and to file such a case you must be a surviving spouse, child, legal dependent or affected heirs.

Recovery of Money

In many instances, the monies recovered are quite considerable and can include medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of your loved ones future earnings, loss of pension and medical benefits, loss of companionship and in some cases, punitive damages. These are difficult legal actions to undertake for a number of reasons, not least of which is that insurance companies are traditionally very uncooperative in these instances. It's always a traumatic time for the loved ones of the decedent and as they are going the wrongful death, which makes it even more important that you select a personal injury law firm that has the experienced litigators who are able of acting compassionately with you, yet aggressive when it comes to preparing complicated cases like these for trial.
