An 18-wheeler barreling down the highway at 60 miles per hour has more destructive potential than most other vehicles on the road. Trucking accidents often involve significant damage and severe Madera big rig accident injuries to any passenger cars involved. Internal bleeding, broken bones, burns, disfigurement, and death are common injuries to victims of these colossal crashes. Seeking compensation involves satisfying nuanced standards of legal fault.
Proving fault generally requires proving that the truck driver failed to exercise care and caution for others on the road and negligently caused harm. Jacob J. Rivas, Attorney at Law, understands how to pinpoint negligence under many different driving situations.
OUR BIG RIG ACCIDENT LAWYERS IN MADERA UNDERSTAND THE COMMON CAUSES OF COMMERCIAL TRUCKING ACCIDENTS
In trucking accidents, the first step to recovery is determining who may be at fault. Fault depends upon who, and what action(s) caused your accident. Common accident factors include:
- Failure to maintain the vehicle
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Tired drivers
- Drunk driving
- Unsecured cargo
- Unsafe lane changes
Proving negligence in commercial trucking accidents is particular to your story and requires a detail- and client-oriented Madera big rig accident attorney.
LEGAL COMPLEXITIES REQUIRE A SKILLED MADERA BIG RIG ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
In addition to state negligence laws, there is heavy federal regulation of commercial trucks, including:
- Licensing and training requirements
- Driver fatigue and meal requirements
- Weight of truckload regulation
- Emergency procedures
- Mandatory rest stops
Trucking companies that negligently hire or fail to supervise drivers or maintain their vehicles may share liability for accident or death. Mr. Rivas’ command of California injury law and federal regulations tends to steer negotiations with stubborn companies and their insurance firms in the right direction. These parties often try to minimize your compensation to save their bottom line regardless of whether that renders you unable to pay your medical bills. Jacob J. Rivas, Attorney at Law, will not let them get away with it. Our Madera tractor-trailer accident lawyers know the tricks these companies use to deny your claims. With their knowledge of those tricks, we offer that insight to your case against even the most formidable adversary.
