I’m sorry to hear about your accident. Being involved in an accident with a semi-truck can be terrifying, not to mention deadly. Typically, semi-trucks weigh several tons and often travel at high rates of speed. If a standard passenger vehicle is hit, the results can be devastating.
Truck drivers in Los Angeles are under tremendous pressure. Not only do they have to deliver loads on time, they typically deal with a lot of traffic and other hazardous driving conditions. This can lead to poor decisions and irresponsible behavior on the part of the truck drivers, trucking companies, maintenance companies, and others. With tight deadlines looming, safety may be set aside.
Victims of accidents involving truck drivers typically involve large amounts of damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and even wrongful death. Because of that, insurance adjusters for trucking companies often try to pressure accident victims into taking a quick settlement that is far less than they deserve. Accident victims may be in pain and not thinking clearly, and could be very anxious about missing out on work and racking up medical bills.
