Do I Really Need A Truck Accident Lawyer?
It is important that you contact an experienced truck accident law firm like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers if you’ve been injured in a truck accident because the insurance companies won’t compensate you fairly for your injuries if you don’t have a lawyer representing you. They’ll offer you an insultingly low amount and dare you to take them to court over it if you don’t have a lawyer.
In addition, a well-respected truck accident law firm like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers will have established relationships with all of the best doctors in Los Angeles, doctors who agree to only charge for their services once the client’s case is over since the doctors know the firm virtually always wins.
In other words, you absolutely need a truck accident lawyer if you want fair compensation for your injuries as well as the finest healthcare available, no matter your income level.
In addition, it can be very dangerous for you to talk to the insurance companies. It is very easy to accidentally imply your own fault in an accident, even if you weren’t actually at fault, and the adjusters are literally trained to trick you into making this mistake.
So, you can either choose to take on the hassle and significant risk of personally dealing with adjusters who don’t respect you and only intend to do everything in their power to minimize your payout, or you can let an experienced law firm like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers deal with the insurance companies for you and force them to offer you fair compensation for your injuries while you concentrate on recovering from your injuries.
How We Obtain Compensation For Truck Accident Victims In Los Angeles

Almost all of our cases settle out of court for an amount which fairly compensates our clients for their injuries. This is because the insurance companies know that we are battle-tested experts at proving that our clients’ truck accidents were caused by the negligence of their insureds. The insurance companies know we’ll successfully prove a negligence claim in court, so they settle out of court to avoid costly legal fees.
California Civil Code Section 1714 (a) is what legally establishes our ability to obtain compensation for our clients in truck accident cases. It holds those who cause injuries by acting negligently are liable for any damages related to the injuries.
California civil juries are instructed that acting negligently is failing to be reasonably careful for the sake of preventing harm from happening.
Acting and failing to act can both be negligent. For example, a reasonably careful truck driver wouldn’t speed, and a reasonably careful truck driver wouldn’t fail to take a mandatory rest break.
Driving too fast and failing to take a break mandated by law would also both be considered negligence per se. California civil juries are instructed that it is negligence per se when violating law causes harm.
We’ve been handling truck accident cases since 1990 and we’ve developed a vast network of the best truck accident experts in Southern California over all those years. Our experience and the relationships we’ve cultivated with the finest experts are the reasons why we’ve consistently obtained policy limits decisions for our truck accident clients throughout the years.
