Why Choose a Local Modesto Attorney?

By choosing Alvandi Law Group, P.C. for your truck accident claim in Modesto, you’ll get the added benefit of our local knowledge, such as:

• We know that California Highway 99 is often busy with commercial trucks and industrial vehicles at all hours.
• We know that the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office often responds to reports of truck accidents.
• We know that Kaiser Permanente Modesto Medical Center often provides emergency care to truck accident survivors.

Every little detail of a case matters. You never know what might be uncovered by looking in the right places or speaking to the right people. With our local knowledge of Modesto and the truck accidents that happen within the city limits, we may be able to uncover important case information that a corporate law office from another city might have missed.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Modesto

As mentioned, many of the truck accidents that happen in Modesto occur on California Highway 99. Southbound traffic between Briggsmore Avenue and L Street can get particularly bad during rush hour, increasing the risk of a truck accident. Why do accidents in the city, along this highway or on a city street, happen in the first place, though? The answer usually boils down to commonplace negligence behind the wheel.

Truck driver negligence that contributes to truck accidents in Modesto often includes:

• Driving while exhausted
• Driving while impaired or intoxicated
• Driving while distracted (including using onboard GPS)
• Speeding (to finish a route on time)

Trucking Company Negligence & Truck Accidents

Putting the blame for a truck accident entirely on a truck driver might not be the right decision for your case. With an investigation, our legal team might uncover that the trucking company made serious mistakes that contributed to the truck accident. If this is the case, the trucking company might be named as a defendant, too. If the truck driver was an employee of the trucking company, then the company might be the only defendant due to the legal rule of respondeat superior, which allows an employee’s liability for a mistake/accident to be passed upward to their employer.

Examples of trucking company negligence that can cause a truck accident include:

• Hiring unlicensed truck drivers
• Failing to train or supervise truck drivers
• Imposing lax truck maintenance requirements
• Scheduling a truck driver for too many hours in one shift

What is a Truck Accident Claim Worth?

The “worth” of your truck accident claim filed in Modesto will be based on the damages you have experienced due to the truck accident and the party or parties that caused it. Typically, the worse you have been injured, the greater the worth of your claim because you will require more to be compensated for your losses. Also, truck accidents tend to cause severe injuries – like traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage, bone fractures, etc. – more often than car accidents, so your case might be worth more than you initially expected.

Our Modesto truck accident attorneys know how to pursue compensation that helps pay for:

• Medical expenses like hospitalization and surgery
• Future medical care like rehabilitative therapy
• Lost past wages
• Reduced future income-earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Costs associated with a disability
• Reduced enjoyment of life
• Shortened life expectancy

We have the talent and team required to pursue compensation through multiple channels. We will attempt to negotiate a fair settlement, so you can have money in your financial accounts sooner rather than later. If no fair settlement is possible, though, our trial lawyers will be ready to litigate in court on your behalf, just as we have done for injured drivers throughout the last 20 years.
