Truck Accident Attorney in Riverside

Common injuries caused by truck accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, internal injuries, and psychological trauma. The severity of these injuries can vary significantly depending on the specifics of the accident.

Most truck accidents in Riverside and throughout California occur due to driver error, especially when they’re distracted, fatigued, or generally careless on the road. We’ve also seen and handled cases involving mechanical issues, violation of safety regulations, poor weather conditions, and hazardous roadways.

There are no standard damages in truck accident claims. That’s because each case is different. 

That said, victims can seek compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income and future earning potential, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to the injured to punish the defendant and warn others of such conduct.

An attorney, the right one for that matter, adds experience in legal procedures involving truck accident claims, evidence gathering, negotiation with insurance companies, and, if necessary, litigation. 

But make no mistakes; not all attorneys are the same. Some, like the team at Morgan and Morgan, are equipped with the resources needed to handle your case, while others may settle for less because they can’t afford to handle such complex cases.

Powerful legal resources enable thorough investigation, expert witness testimony, and access to cutting-edge technology for case presentation. These are essential for effectively taking on large trucking companies and insurers. When an attorney has access to these resources, like we do here at Morgan and Morgan, they’ll have confidence in the strength of their case and won’t feel obligated to settle for anything just to close the case and avoid trial.

The journey to obtain the compensation you deserve after a truck accident has many stages. The first, and perhaps the most important, is to find out if you have a viable claim in the first place.
