SKYDIVING PLANE CRASHES AND HITS TRUCK ON GROUND

Posted on Friday, May 27th, 2016 at 6:08 pm    

When you think about a motor vehicle accident, you usually think about two or more cars crashing, a commercial truck colliding with a passenger vehicle, or an accident involving a motorcycle. You typically do not think about a motor vehicle accident involving an airplane but anything can happen.

A skydiving plane crashed hitting a pickup truck on its way to the ground. The plan clipped the rear of the truck before it entered a vineyard and flipped over on Highway 99 in Lodi, CA. Thankfully, no one on the ground was injured and all 17 skydivers and the pilot walked away from the plane crash with only minor injuries. This goes to show you that a motor vehicle accident can involve some pretty odd circumstances.

For this reason, you want an experienced Sacramento car accident attorney on your side just in case your claim involves some strange or challenging issues that make proving fault difficult. You must prove fault in order to receive compensation for your injuries under California’s personal injury laws.

Proving Fault in a California Motor Vehicle Accident

Before you can receive compensation from the other driver in a motor vehicle accident, you must prove that driver was at fault for the crash. If you fail to prove the other driver did something to cause the accident, you will not be able to recover compensation for your losses, damages, and injuries. Furthermore, your compensation could be reduced if the other driver is able to prove that you contributed to the accident in any way. Therefore, proving fault for a car accident can be a complicated process but it is crucial in order to win your car accident case.

One of the best things you can do after a motor vehicle accident is to contact our office. In order to prove fault, we must obtain evidence; therefore, the sooner we begin the process the better. Evidence at the accident scene can change (i.e. placement of signs, road debris, low-hanging trees, etc.) and memories of witnesses can fade. We want to begin a comprehensive accident investigation as soon as possible in order to identify and preserve key evidence we will use to prove the other driver caused the accident.

Insurance companies try to limit the amount of compensation they must pay to motor vehicle accident victims, especially in cases where the damages are significant. If we must file a car accident lawsuit and go to court, we want to be prepared with as much evidence as possible to prove to the jury that the other driver is at fault and you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries.

I sat down and met with Jelena Tiemann about my vehicle accident.I presented all of my documentation to her in which she gave me her assessment.Although the Tiemann Law Firm wont be representing me because my settlement offer was pretty good she was very clear,forward and professional about what she felt could and couldn't be done.I recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a helping hand at fighting a case where you don't have to worry about the outcome not going in your favor. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
