Proving Fault for a Commercial Truck Accident

Before you can recover any compensation for your injuries, you must prove fault for the accident. Most truck accidents in the Buena Park area happen from driver negligence, such as speeding or distracted driving. However, commercial truck accidents can happen because of improperly loaded cargo, poor truck maintenance, or failure to follow trucking industry regulations.

Your personal injury lawyer in Buena Park can be instrumental in building your case. Trust the team at Easton & Easton to gather any physical or digital evidence you need to prove fault; we can also obtain statements from any witnesses who saw the accident happen.

Recovering Compensation for Your Commercial Truck Accident in Buena Park

Truck drivers and their employers usually have commercial auto insurance that provides far more coverage than the average individual auto insurance policy in California, but this does not mean that insurance will definitely cover all of your losses or that dealing with the insurance company will be easy. Most insurance companies will try everything they can to avoid paying out a settlement or, at the very least, minimizing your settlement offer.

Easton & Easton knows how to address these tactics from insurance carriers and will do everything we can to make sure your claim is handled in good faith. If insurance will not fully cover your losses, trust us to build a strong personal injury case for you. Success with this case could yield compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and for your pain and suffering.

The attorneys at Easton & Easton have cultivated a reputation as a leading choice for personal injury representation in the Buena Park area due to our focus on the client’s individual needs. Trust our team to build a comprehensive, individualized case and to address your unique needs and concerns throughout all stages of your legal proceedings. Reach out to our team today to learn how we can help you recover from a commercial truck accident in Buena Park.

FAQs

How Do You Prove Fault for a Commercial Truck Accident in Buena Park?

You can prove fault for a commercial truck accident in Buena Park by gathering evidence that shows the exact cause of the accident. You must identify the party or parties responsible for causing the accident and prove the exact cause before you can recover compensation. A Buena Park truck accident lawyer can help you gather evidence, such as trucking industry documentation, vehicle computer data, cell phone records, and witness testimony.

How Much Compensation Can You Claim for a Truck Accident?

The amount of compensation you can claim for a truck accident will depend on the severity of the injuries you suffered. You have the right to claim full repayment for any economic damages you suffered as well as compensation for your pain and suffering. The exact value of your case will depend on multiple factors, and your attorney can assist you in maximizing your recovery.

What Happens if I Share Fault for My Truck Accident in Buena Park?

If you share fault for your truck accident in Buena Park, you should expect California’s pure comparative negligence law to apply to your case. Under this law, a plaintiff found partially at fault will have a fault percentage assigned, and they will lose a percentage of their total case award equal to their fault percentage. Consult your attorney if you have any concerns about bearing partial liability for the accident.

Why Do You Need to Hire a Buena Park Truck Accident Lawyer?

You need to hire a Buena Park truck accident lawyer because this type of accident case is inherently challenging in several ways. You could face unexpected complications that you do not know how to resolve on your own, and you have a much better chance of success with your case when you have legal counsel you trust on your side. You are also more likely to maximize your compensation with an attorney’s assistance.

What Does It Cost to Hire a Buena Park Truck Accident Lawyer?

The cost of hiring a Buena Park truck accident lawyer depends on the lawyer’s billing policy. At Easton & Easton, we accept personal injury cases under contingency fee agreements. This means we only charge our client a fee after we have won their case, and our fee is a percentage of the total amount recovered for them. This policy makes legal counsel affordable and accessible to those who need it most.

The aftermath of a commercial truck accident in Buena Park can be confusing and stressful. If you or a family member is struggling with injuries and economic strain caused by another party, trust Easton & Easton to guide you to your recovery. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation with a Buena Park truck accident lawyer and learn how we can help.

Coming out of my first auto accident as an adult, a very difficult and scary time to navigate and understand, I was so incredibly thankful to have been put in contact with Easton & Easton.

They have made the entire process stress free for me as I recovered, and I am so grateful for them and their genuine care for my case. Communication from the start has been fantastic, especially making clear what my expectations for the entire process would look like, and I truly believe they have my best interest at heart. 100% I would recommend their firm for anyone that is needing representation!

Sofia Sanchez

I could not be more pleased with the services provided by the Law Offices of W. Douglas Easton. The senior partner Mr. Easton took the time to meet with me and my wife while I was still in the hospital, where he gave my family hope that there was light at the end of a very long, and very dark tunnel. Matt Easton then worked my case, and because of his dedication, experience and expertise I received a settlement that was larger than I EVER thought possible. It was truly astounding! Matt and the entire team at Easton & Easton looked out for me throughout my recovery, and in the end they gave me my life back. Five stars is not enough. Thanks Matt! Thanks Easton & Easton!

I can’t say enough amazing things about my experience with Travis Easton at Easton & Easton. Travis and his entire team (Katie, Amy, Dee, Michelle, & Araceli) are phenomenal. It provided me a lot of comfort to know I was being so well taken care of. I was especially impressed that every document for the case was perfectly written and specific to me. Nothing was generic, which shows the level of care and attention they put into each individual case. I had such a great experience and would highly recommend Travis Easton and his firm to anyone going through a personal injury. Travis took a bad situation and made the best of it for me. Thank you again, I’m forever grateful!!

Ashlee A.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.

Jeffrey N.

I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!

Mark B.

I was treated with utmost respect and I felt like I was being represented by a close family member. The responses to my questions were quick and clear. What E & E has done for me is phenomenal.
My sincere thanks to Brian, Matt, Travis, Doug, Gabriel and Amera. They are what they are because of their dedication to provide high quality and professional service to their clients.

Brian Easton and his team, Gabe Mendoza and Amera Hajali, helped me during a very difficult time in my life. I had a significant injury from a car accident, and wound up seeking out Easton & Easton when I was having difficulties getting help from my doctors. The Easton team took a lot of stress off of me while acting as my advocates to help me get the care I needed, and saw my case all the way through to a healthy settlement.
They are the BEST!
