Fresno Truck Accident Attorney

Pursuing Maximum Compensation for Truck Accident Injuries

If you were injured in a trucking accident, you are likely left with expensive costs such as vehicle repair expenses, medical bills and other bills that are stacking up because of time you had to spend away from work. If your truck accident resulted from the mistakes of another person or entity, you have the right to seek compensation for the damages you suffered. Unfortunately, coming up against commercial insurance companies can often be a challenge—sometimes even more so than when you are dealing with other types of insurance companies. Oftentimes, commercial insurance companies are not willing to pay the full amount of compensation victims are rightfully due.

Cases and Injuries We Handle

Because of our extensive experience in our field, our team at The Matiasic Firm is prepared to handle claims and lawsuits related to all types of truck accidents. We handle jackknife accidents, underride accidents, truck rollovers and many other types of truck accidents. Whether you were injured by a truck collision that occurred on the freeway or on a street, we can help you. We are also able to handle cases that involve various types of truck accident injuries, whether they are extremely serious or more minor. A few of the common injuries we deal with include internal injuries, broken bones, disfigurement and brain injuries, among many others. In some tragic cases, the victim of the truck accident has actually died from his or her injuries. In these wrongful death cases, we can aid these victim's family members in pursing compensation from the negligent party.

One of our main goals in handling your case will be finding and demonstrating the cause of your truck accident. This is important because it will determine who is liable to pay for the damages. In some cases, the accident is the fault of the truck driver, such as when he or she was drunk or was texting while driving. When an accident is caused by unsecure cargo, the driver might be at fault if he or she failed to load or check the cargo properly. In other cases, the accident could have been caused by employer negligence, such as when the trucking company failed to comply with certain trucking regulations. These might be regulations concerning hours-of-service or truck inspections. When you work with us, you can rest assured that we are conducting an in-depth truck accident investigation for the benefit of your case.
