If you are involved in a truck accident case, it is very important that you consult a San Leandro truck accident lawyer about filing an injury claim. Truck accident claims can be complex and move very quickly at the beginning of the case. Therefore, you want an attorney who has experience handling these types of traffic accident cases to protect your best interests against large insurance companies and huge trucking companies.

Four Common Questions About Truck Accidents in San Leandro

We understand you may have many questions about filing an accident claim involving a commercial truck. Our truck accident lawyers want to answer each of your questions. Below are four of the common questions many accident victims have after a large truck accident.

  1. Who is going to pay my bills and lost wages?

In a truck accident claim, there could be one or more parties who are responsible for your damages and losses. The parties named in a claim might include the truck driver, trucking company, truck owner, loader, repair shop, truck manufacturer, another driver, and government entities. To determine the liable parties in your case, our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation. It is vital to identify all parties responsible for the crash to increase your chance of recovering maximum compensation for your injuries.

  1. How much compensation can I receive for my claim?

The amount you recover for your damages depends on several factors. You are entitled to file a claim for your financial damages, including property damage, lost wages, and medical bills. However, your claim can also include an amount for your emotional suffering and physical pain. Because the injuries sustained in a large truck accident tend to be severe, the damages in these claims are usually substantial. Our lawyers analyze every possible loss and damage to maximize the amount you can receive for your claim.

  1. Why is a commercial truck accident claim different from other traffic accident claims?

Claims involving large trucks, including collisions with tractor-trailers, semi-trailers, semi-trucks, and big rigs, 18-wheelers, are more complex than other traffic accident claims for several reasons. For instance, federal laws and regulations govern the trucking industry. These regulations can be a crucial factor in the case. In addition, large trucks are complex pieces of machinery. In many cases, experts are required to assist with determining the cause of the accident and proving fault.

Furthermore, insurance companies aggressively defend claims involving large trucks because the claims usually involve substantial damages. Therefore, you need an attorney who can act quickly to protect evidence from being destroyed or lost. Lastly, truck accident claims usually involve several defendants. Because you could be suing multiple parties, you need an attorney who can handle a large, complex case.

  1. How much does it cost to hire a San Leandro truck accident attorney?

Our law firm accepts most cases on a contingency fee basis. You do not pay our attorney fees upfront. We only receive our fees after we recover money for your claim. Our attorneys want you to have the legal representation you need to fight the insurance company and the trucking company without worrying about how you will pay attorney’s fees.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
