Proving Liability After a Sacramento Truck Accident
Determining liability after a truck crash in Sacramento can be challenging and typically involves gathering as much evidence as possible. Often, there is a significant amount of evidence gathered at the scene of the initial incident. This includes, but is not limited to, photographs of damages, debris, skid marks, the vehicles involved, injuries, etc. Additionally, contact information from eyewitnesses is valuable because these individuals can be contacted to give statements about what they saw.
However, because of the complexity of these claims, an attorney will likely need to dig further to gather additional types of evidence. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Driver’s electronic logging device (ELD)
- Truck’s electronic control module (ECM) or electronic data recorder (EDR)
- Company’s hiring and training records
- Truck’s maintenance schedule and records
Types of Compensation Available After a Truck Crash
Truck crash victims in Sacramento should be able to recover various types of compensation if the incident was caused by the negligence of another driver or the company. This includes a range of economic and non-economic losses that our attorneys will work diligently to calculate properly. Some of these losses include:
- All emergency and follow-up medical expenses
- Any surgical repairs needed
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Prescription medications
- Medical devices
- Lost wages and last earning potential
- Disability income
- Property damage expenses
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
There is no set amount of compensation paid to victims in these cases, but an attorney will work with medical and economic experts to adequately calculate total losses. In the event the insurance carrier or trucking company refuses to offer a fair settlement, an attorney will fully prepare the case for trial.
