Delivery Truck Accidents on the rise!

A top-rated California Attorney knows what you should do if you are suffering from this: 

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced hundreds of businesses to close their doors due to quarantine. As a result, Americans have been obligated to resort to online shopping for both essential items and other products. Logically, the increase in digital purchases has meant that there are increasingly more delivery trucks on the streets. Which makes the priority to meet the deadlines imposed by their employers. Without worrying about the human cost this may have, leading to an increase in delivery truck accidents in the United States.

According to the Federal Highway Administration, delivery trucks account for 58% of all commercial vehicle miles. Moreover, it notes that there are more than 2 million semi-trucks and about 5.6 million semi-trailers currently on the U.S.  Some truckers ignore safety measures to maximize their deliveries, putting the lives of Americans at risk.

The attorneys at C&B Law Group, a reputable Los Angeles law firm, have carefully analyzed the issue, and advise you to be prepared for this type of situation.

Trucking accidents can be devastating

Among those affected by this problem is Bradley Roberts, an essential worker in a government agency. Even during the pandemic, Roberts has had to go to his office to work from time to time. One afternoon, on his way home, his vehicle was hit by a delivery truck from a well-known company. As a result, he broke his ribs and fractured his right arm.

"I was driving through an intersection when the truck hit my car at high speed. The trucker was driving far over the speed limit! The company he was working for took no responsibility, so it was difficult to get compensation". Roberts said.

A more extreme case is that of Courtney Davis. A delivery truck hit her car in the middle of the highway after the trucker fell asleep at the wheel. Courtney's car was irreparably damaged, and she suffered a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed permanently.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the trucker had worked for 24 hours straight, violating security measures. Again, the company he worked for failed to take responsibility for the damages. Meanwhile, Courtney stated that the trucker's negligence had "ruined her life".

What should you do after a trucking accident?

Jack Bazerkanian, an experienced personal injury attorney and member of the C&B Law Group team, says that as these types of accidents increase, people need to know what to do if they are involved in one.

First, he points out that you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. "Your health is the most important thing. These kind of accidents usually cause very serious injuries, so after the crash, you should go see a doctor immediately," he added.

The attorney says that the truck insurance company will most likely want to offer you a monetary settlement. "These companies will try to take advantage of your short-term greed to make you settle for a minimal settlement. Make sure you don't fall into their trap," he added.

Finally, Bazerkanian recommends that you should contact an experienced attorney to handle your case. "An attorney will help you deal with the insurance company and gather the necessary evidence to increase your chances of receiving the maximum compensation possible," he said.

"If you ever need an attorney, we at C&B Law Group are always ready to help. We have successfully settled numerous cases related to delivery truck accidents and we are available 24/7," he concluded.
