Los Angeles CA Truck Accident Evidence Must Be Secured

Semi truck accidents are very different than other motor vehicle accidents due , in part, to the additional federal laws that govern the interstate trucking industry. Semi truck accidents also differ from car accidents because of the degree of danger involved. Semi truck drivers need to be vigilant about driving safely. They must be immeasurably more careful because semis are immeasurably more dangerous. A motorcyle rider is defenseless against an 18-wheeler.

As professional drivers, truck drivers should not needlessly endanger the public through negligence or noncompliance. They should not speed, allow anything to distract them nor should they tailgate because big rigs are more difficult to maneuver and require a greater distance to stop. If there is any lack of vigilance, the damage can be catastrophic.

Los Angeles Semi Truck Motorcycle Accident:
Wrongful Death Compensation

When a person dies due to the negligence of another, the survivor, living dependent or beneficiary may be permitted to file a wrongful death action to obtain compensation for incurred medical expenses as well as funeral and burial expenses. Additionally, loss of the decedent's future financial support and the loss of the decedent's love, care, comfort and society are also included as recoverable.

The future damages are calculated on the average life expectancy of a person that age. Also taken into consideration when determining future earning capacity are the decedent's health, habits, activities, lifestyle and occupation.

Killed by a Semi Truck Accident:
Los Angeles California Wrongful Death Action

Wrongful death claims involve specific laws that outline the procedures a family must go through to file the claims and recover on them. When your loved one is killed by a semi truck, the liable parties may include the truck driver, the driver’s employer, the owner of the truck and trailer, the owner of the freight, a maintenance company, a manufacturer of a defective truck part, a bar that served a drunk truck driver and others.

When we accept a wrongful death case, we take the time to get to know what the decedent meant to the family, financially and emotionally, and what the decedent’s job was as well as future prospects for advancement. We try to get as full a picture as possible of the person’s life because we have to persuasively present evidence as to the value of that life.
