California Truck Accident Attorneys

The California truck accident attorneys at Demas & Rosenthal possess long-term expertise with truck accidents of all types. With congested roads and freeways, such accidents can be relatively common. Injuries may result from accidents involving smaller trucks, such as delivery vehicles or contractor trucks; however, the trucks that probably cause the most concern for drivers of smaller cars are the huge semi-trucks that pepper the highways. The freeways are rarely without these massive vehicles, and for many drivers in the state these trucks have a huge potential to cause dangerous accidents. Drivers of these trucks, too, may fall victim to unsafe practices on the part of the trucking company for whom they are working.

Truck drivers within the state can sometimes be under a great deal of pressure in order to deliver their goods within a specified period of time, and this can set up a situation which opens them up to accidents. Similarly, truck accidents may be caused by a failure to maintain the vehicle, or a failure to secure a load, or by driver exhaustion or unsafe driving. If the driver of the truck was determined to be driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this opens up an entirely different category of law. As California truck accident attorneys, we specialize in dealing with these types of accidents.

Truck drivers who are classified as actual employees for trucking companies may be able to receive representation through a lawyer assigned to them through the company they work for, but this isn't the case in all instances. Some truck drivers have to retain their own attorneys if one is not supplied to them through the company. Either way, it is important for truck drivers to find the best representation possible when involved in a truck accident. Many people might assume that the truck driver is to blame, but blame may lie with the trucking company or with an irresponsible driver. Contact Demas & Rosenthal for a free evaluation if you are a truck driver seeking representation for California truck accident.

People who are injured as a result of a collision with a truck will also need legal assistance to make any type of financial claim if an injury or death resulted from the accident. We'll examine police reports, medical records, witness accounts of the case, and other relevant details as appropriate so that we can help you get the compensation you need. Examining these details can help determine whether the truck driver is personally at fault, or if instead the company the truck driver works for is liable. Either way, we'll approach the case in order to get the best settlement possible for you. If the trucking company offers you compensation, don't agree to a settlement without getting legal help first.

It's important to choose attorneys who have the experience and qualifications to win the case. Demas & Rosenthal has a lengthy, successful track record when it comes to California truck accident cases. Call today for your initial free consultation.
