How Hiring a Rancho Cordova Attorney Could Help Your Case

1. Determining the Cause of the Accident

Skilled attorneys will be able to use their experience and network of experts to determine the cause of the accident. The leading causes of truck accidents include:

• Driver fatigue
• Distracted driving
• Unsafe speed
• Brake problems
• Lack of experience
• Failure to follow traffic rules and regulations
• Dangerous road conditions 
• Traffic flow interruptions

Determining the cause of the accident is necessary to determine liability, which is needed to file a lawsuit.

2. Determining Liability

There are several different parties who could be liable for the accident (or share liability). Liable parties could include the driver of the other vehicle, the trucking firm who hired the driver or maintains the commercial truck, the vehicle manufacturer (if there are mechanical issues or defective components which factored into the accident), and even the government agency responsible for maintaining the road’s condition if road defects contributed to the accident.

Experienced accident attorneys will be able to determine who is liable and if multiple parties are liable, how much liability each one has. This is important because the amount of liability will dictate how much each party must pay if you win a lawsuit or reach a settlement.

3. Lawyers Understand the Driving Laws & Trucking Regulations

There are many regulations when it comes to driving and truck drivers. Rules on training and experience, how many hours drivers can drive without a break, weight and class restrictions on certain roads, and differences between states and the federal government.

An experienced Rancho Cordova attorney will understand trucking regulations and help identify any laws that were broken or a lapse in compliance, which could impact liability.

4. Communication with the Insurance Company

Having someone to communicate and negotiate with the insurance companies is one of the biggest benefits of hiring an attorney. This gives you the ability to focus on healing from your injuries. Your attorney can handle negotiations on your behalf. This also saves you from unknowingly saying something that could jeopardize your case when speaking with insurance company representatives.

5. Experienced Attorneys Know What’s Fair

Attorneys who handle personal injury cases, especially truck cases, know what is a fair settlement amount. They can advise you whether you should accept a settlement from the insurance company if they believe it is fair, or advise you to continue negotiation or take the case to trial. Without an attorney, you may undervalue the cost of the accident.
