Commercial vehicles fill California roadways. With so many commercial drivers on the road, accidents involving transportation professionals inevitably occur. The accident investigator, in partnership with a commercial vehicle accident attorney, can determine if fault lies with the commercial vehicle operator for any reason, whether human error or mechanical failure. At Employment Legal Help, our accident investigation process utilizes California’s best accident investigators.

Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney
Commercial vehicle operators and their employers are held to higher standards than other vehicle operators. If you have been involved in an accident that involves a commercial vehicle, it is important to seek out the services of an experienced commercial vehicle accident lawyer, who can accurately determine who the at fault party is, and who is liable for damages.

Your Rights Regarding a Commercial Vehicle Accident
The at-fault party is generally deemed responsible for all damages incurred, and is expected to provide financial remuneration to restore the accident victims standard of living to what it was prior to the accident. This means that the victim can seek compensation for property damage, medical treatment, pain and suffering, current and future loss of earnings, future medical and rehabilitation expenses and diminished quality of life. As professionals held to a higher standard, most commercial vehicle drivers carry insurance policies with higher limits that can translate into higher awards. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, drivers, truck owners, manufacturers, the government or other negligent third party could be held accountable for your losses.

Wrongful Death Due To Commercial Vehicle Accident
Beyond injury, some accidents involving commercial vehicles, result in the death of a loved one. While nothing can be done to bring that loved one back, in such cases there are grounds for a lawsuit that seeks financial recompense. The court system understands the high cost of a loss of life. They are aware that in addition to the pain and suffering of the loss, that there are economic repercussions. If the deceased was a source of income for the household, the loss of the income they provided needs to be considered in any award sought in a lawsuit.

Determining Commercial Vehicle Accident Fault
Like any accident, the cause of a commercial vehicle accident can be attributed to variety of factors. A distracted, careless or negligent driver can be the cause of an accident, as can mechanical failure. At Employment Legal Help, our experienced commercial vehicle accident attorneys can accurately evaluate and determine liability discovering who should be held at fault, whether it is vehicle manufacturers, distributors, retailers, governmental entities and drivers are all parties that may be held liable for commercial vehicle accidents.
