Things to Know About Personal Injury Cases and Delivery Truck Accidents
In San Joaquin County and across California, we depend on large commercial trucks to transport goods in and out of the community. The drivers of these vehicles, in addition to delivery trucks such as Amazon, provide a valuable service to everyone that is deeply appreciated. However, trucking companies often place pressure on truck drivers to meet strict delivery deadlines to maximize profits. This may lead to careless and reckless driving behaviors that pose a threat to Lodi residents and others on the road.
When a truck accident involves a passenger vehicle, those riding in smaller vehicles are often left with serious injuries requiring emergency transportation to the hospital. For those who were not taken away from the scene via ambulance, medical treatment should be sought right away, even if you believe that your injuries are not severe. That is because some accident-related injuries may not manifest immediately, such as head trauma or a spinal cord injury.
Having medical documentation linking reported injuries to the truck accident is essential, given that difficult insurance companies and defense counsel may be involved in the personal injury claims process. The insurer does not have your best interests at heart; insurance carriers are looking to protect their profit margins by paying as little as possible on claims. To seek the maximum compensation you deserve, you should have an experienced Lodi truck accident lawyer working on your side.
