California Truck Accident Lawyers

Help from a California truck accident attorney

Understandably, accident injuries that involve large trucks are often more serious than injuries from other types of vehicle accidents especially if they are semi-truck or 18-wheeler accidents. Not only do such accidents lead to considerable medical costs and other expenses, but multiple parties may be liable for the accident, including the truck driver, service mechanics and company owners. If you are the victim of such an accident, you need the help of a truck accident lawyer.

The Otus Law Group understands when a client should consider accepting a settlement and what elements make up a fair compensation amount. Our experienced California truck accident attorneyshave the skills and tenacity to negotiate a settlement that considers all your damages. Every injured person and every accident is different—requiring a thorough evaluation by an experienced professional.

Get the compensation you deserve with our California truck accident law firm

After suffering an injury in a truck accident, the law entitles you to two different types of damages:

Economic damages
Non-economic damages

Economic damages are generally easier to estimate than non-economic damages because they are quantifiable. Most cases have no limit on how much compensation you can receive. Economic damages include:

Lost wages
Loss of earning ability
Medical bills

Estimated future medical expenses
Property damage

A California truck accident law firm, such as the Otus Law Group, can help you estimate your non-economic damages—a process harder than calculating economic damages. Non-economic damages include:

Emotional distress
Change in family relationships
Pain and suffering

In some cases, a judge may award punitive damages—intended to punish the reckless behavior of the driver or trucking company. Punitive damages are not available in every case, and the Otus Law Group can make sure you receive the compensation your situation calls for.

What a California trucking accident attorney considers

When estimating a fair settlement amount for a truck accident injury, a California truck accident attorney will consider a number of factors, including:

Case strength
Proportional liability
Local precedent

Severity of injuries
Amount of insurance

The experienced California truck accident lawyers at Otus Law Group help each client determine a fair settlement amount. Then we aggressively negotiate to make sure your needs are met.
