There are three things that matter more than anything else
First and foremost, you need an attorney that has experience. Second, you need them to not only have experience with personal injury cases but experience with this particular area of personal injury law. At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, we can help with many different injuries and accident types, and we have years of experience working on truck accident cases.
Finally, you need an attorney who’s willing to fight for you. Just but any personal injury case is going to be messy. The reality is that no one wants to pay. Not the insurance companies, not the trucking companies, not the at-fault drivers. They will work as hard as they can to ensure claims aren’t paid. That’s why you need an attorney who will work as hard as possible to get you the best possible outcome. You can count on that from Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas.

A truck accident attorney is not the same as an auto accident attorney
It’s possible that your auto accident attorney can also help with a truck accident, but don’t assume that just because they have experience with car accidents that they have experience with truck accidents. The rules and regulations of trucks and trucking companies are significantly more complicated than the rules and regulations for private vehicles, which is why it’s essential to work with an attorney experienced in truck accidents.
The defendant may not be who you think it is
It’s common for the victim of a truck accident to assume that the person who was driving the truck, or their trucking company, is who they’re going to sue to recover for their injuries. Of course, this is often true – but not always. There are actually a number of possible defendants, depending on the specifics of your case.
In some cases, the at-fault party may be a facility that incorrectly repaired the truck. It may be the owner of the cargo that was being transported if that cargo wasn’t properly attached. A government agency may be responsible for unsafe conditions on the road. If it’s an issue of equipment, a truck manufacturer may be responsible.
As you can see, these are not simple cases. However, we have the experience to help you through them. reach out to us at 909-982-0707 today for your free case evaluation. We can let you know if you have a case, who may be responsible, and what your options are.
