Truck accidents are traumatic. When a 3,000-pound car is in a crash with an 80,000-pound truck the results can be catastrophic. The physical injuries and mental trauma can leave you debilitated and not knowing what to do next. That’s where a our attorneys come in. Here are three reasons why you should contact one as soon as possible after your accident occurs:

  1. Clarify your options — Your mind is probably going in a million different directions at this point and there are lots of players involved in an accident settlement. You may hear from insurance companies, the trucking company or others who have an interest in your case. There are large sums of money involved, including what you’ll need to cover your current and future medical expenses, loss of wages, pain and suffering. An attorney who’s handled this type of case before can help you better understand what your future financial needs might be, and also what your options are with regard to settlements and court cases.
  2. Avoid evidence being lost or destroyed — Physical evidence and reports concerning your case are best collected as close to the accident as possible. An attorney will conduct an independent investigation of your accident and collect evidence that may be essential in winning your case before it disappears, gets lost or destroyed.
  3. Beat statute of limitations — Many accident victims don’t realize there’s a time limit to file a lawsuit in the state of California. Legal claims must be made within two years of the date of the accident. If you exceed this limit your case will most likely be dismissed, and you will lose your chance to recover the compensation you deserve.

Don’t try to navigate the complex legal system on your own. We’re here for you, and will do our best to see you receive the damages you’re entitled to.

The Tiemanns were referred to me by a friend and I am exceptionally happy with the service I received. I had never been in an accident before. I had no idea what to do. Jelena verbally explained how everything would work to me, and she and Peter handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger once. They went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful. I pray I won't ever need this type of assistance again, but I will definitely be referring them to friends and family.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

Here's the thing... Nobody really thinks much about lawyers until they need one.  Well, we needed one!  The Tieman Law Firm came through for us in a big way. They were professional, courteous, thorough, and had excellent staff as well.  Highly recommended...

No one wants to have to hire a lawyer, but if you do. I prefer Tiemann Law. They helped a family member who was injured on the job, and the company did not want to compensate him even though, the injury occurred on the job on company time. Jelena was always professional in explaining the lengthy process of fighting a large corporation. 2 years later he finally is receiving the deserved compensation.

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!
