KJT Law Group’s California Truck Accident Lawyers Are Committed to Our Clients
Unlike many personal injury law firms, KJT Law Group is not a lawsuit mill. We do not accept any case, settle it quickly, and keep moving on to the next paycheck. Instead, we roll up our sleeves, build a compelling case, and fight for the compensation our clients deserve based on the case facts. We limit the cases we take on to ensure every client feels like they are our only client.
When you choose our team to represent you in your truck accident case, you are our priority. You will work directly with one of our auto accident lawyers, who has extensive experience dealing with commercial vehicle accidents. You will have access to your personal injury attorney when you need them and receive frequent updates about your case.
We believe the testimonials and reviews our former clients leave for our accident attorneys say it best:
- “This law firm is the best!!! At first, I had a different law firm, but I didn’t like that it was difficult to reach anyone in their office. I like to be on top of my case and always know what’s going on. Trust is one of the most important factors when working with a law firm, and I didn’t have much trust in my previous law firm due to a lack of communication. That’s why I decided to switch to KJT Law Group, and I never regretted my choice. They were awesome!” – C.
- “Professional, pleasant, and true advocacy all the way. They really helped me and supported my claim. I highly recommend to everyone.” – R.M.
Over the last ten years, we have secured more than $100 million for injured Californians. Some recent truck accident case results include:
- $3,000,000 secured for a semi-truck driver who required several surgeries after being hit by another tractor-trailer driver
- $2,800,000 won in arbitration for a motorist who suffered injuries after a garbage truck driver rear-ended her car
- $400,000 won for a client hurt by a careless truck driver
We pursue fair compensation for every client. Each case is unique, so there is no way to know how much your truck accident claim might settle for or how much a jury might award you until we complete our investigation and have documentation of your recoverable damages. However, you can count on us to fight for the full compensation you deserve based on the facts of your case.
We have the same goals. Not only do we pride ourselves on helping injured crash victims hold careless truckers and companies accountable, but we also work based on contingency. We do not ask you to pay upfront fees. We work only for a percentage of the payout we secure for you. This agreement means our financial goals are aligned. When we recover more for you, we make more, too.
What Damages Will My California Truck Accident Lawyer Pursue Based on My Case?
When you trust a car accident lawyer from our team to manage your California crash case caused by a negligent truck driver, we will identify and catalog all your recoverable damages. Only then can we seek fair compensation based on the medical expenses, lost income, and other losses you incurred.
Each truck accident case in California is unique. This is because no two circumstances, injuries, and expenses are the same. We must understand the specific expenses and losses you experienced and have the evidence to show why you deserve to receive the compensation we demand from the insurance carrier or trucking company.
While there is no way to know the potential value of your California truck collision case before our team investigates and gathers evidence, many crash victims with significant injuries endure the same types of recoverable damages. You may, too. These could include:
- Medical bills
- Future medical care costs
- Missed wages and other income losses
- Reduced earning ability
- Personal property repair or replacement
- Related expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death damages
We seek compensation for our client’s current and future expenses and losses. We know how important it is for you to recover the money you need to pay for your care and ensure your financial stability if you cannot return to work for several months or ever. This is especially important for our clients who suffer from life-altering disabilities following a California truck collision and injuries. Our personal injury lawyers can help you get justice.
What Types of Injuries Can a KJT Law Group Truck Accident Lawyer Handle?
Victims hurt in a collision caused by a careless truck driver suffer a wide range of injury types and severities, from relatively minor to catastrophic.
Some victims may be involved in a low-speed collision with a truck or trailer and only require a quick trip to a local emergency department or urgent care. They might suffer a fractured arm or minor concussion. After a few weeks of monitoring and missed work, they return to their usual activities with few long-term effects.
Others suffer life-altering catastrophic injuries. This could require weeks or months in the hospital, inpatient rehabilitation, and not being able to return to their previous career. Some types of catastrophic injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Amputations and loss of use limb injuries
- Some burns and scarring
- Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
What If My Family Member Died From Their Truck Accident Injuries?
Because of their size, weight, and the speeds they travel, trucks pose a significant risk of catastrophic injury or death to others on the roads. Based on an analysis of federal data, the National Safety Council (NSC) determined that there were 436 deaths in large truck collisions in one recent year. Up to 90 percent of these fatalities were occupants of other passenger vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists.
If your family member died in a California trucking accident, our team is here to help. We can file a wrongful death action and fight for justice for you and your loved ones.
What Makes Building a Compelling Case for Compensation Difficult in a California Truck Accident Case?
Commercial truck accident liability is complex under California law. Generally, the at-fault driver is liable for a crash they cause. In an accident involving a commercial truck, the driver’s employer is likely vicariously or directly liable, too. Trucking companies usually have significant liability insurance coverage, making it possible to recover more money for seriously injured victims by holding them accountable.
This position means we must face off against corporate insurance companies and corporate lawyers. However, it is worth it for our clients. It is important since truck accident victims often have severe injuries and require a significant payout to cover their current and future damages.
However, these cases are also more challenging because the truck company or another liable party often holds much of the key evidence in the case. We need to take steps to preserve this evidence and gain access to it as early as possible after an accident occurs.
When Would a California Injury Lawyer Recommend Taking My Truck Accident Case to Trial?
Often, our legal team settles cases without necessitating a truck accident lawsuit or preparing the case to go to trial. However, some circumstances call for pursuing litigation against the trucking company or another liable party. This situation might occur if:
- There are questions or disputes about the case facts
- The trucking company refuses to accept responsibility
- The insurance company will not pay a fair settlement
- There is little time left to begin a lawsuit
- We have other reasons why we believe going to trial is in the client’s best interest
There are strict timelines for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit based on a truck crash in California. These deadlines are set by the statute of limitations found under CCP § 335.1. This generally includes:
- Two years from the accident date for injuries
- Two years from the date of death for wrongful death
