Quick Question
Sacramento Truck Accident Attorneys FAQs
Big rigs are not the only type of commercial vehicle that our personal injury lawyers encounter. Wrecks are becoming more common in California as roads become more congested with commercial vehicles such as garbage trucks, buses, emergency vehicles, parcel delivery vehicles, tankers/hazardous material vehicles, and vehicles hauling fresh produce up and down the state. Our lawyers can represent you in claims involving large commercial vehicles, regardless of the type.
When facing the aftermath of a truck accident, especially severe injuries, hiring an experienced lawyer like those at Eason & Tambornini is crucial. Here’s why:
- Maximize Compensation: We understand the complexities of truck accident claims and will fight to secure the maximum settlement for your medical bills, lost wages, and future earning potential.
- Focus on Recovery: Let us handle the legal complexities while you concentrate on healing. We’ll deal with the trucking company lawyers, insurance adjusters, and investigators, shielding you from their tactics.
- Protect Your Rights: Insurance adjusters often try to shift blame or pressure you into accepting a low settlement. We’ll protect your rights and ensure your side of the story is accurately represented.
- Preserve Crucial Evidence: Evidence can disappear quickly. We’ll act fast to gather and preserve evidence, including witness statements, video footage, and accident scene details, strengthening your case.
While filing a lawsuit is possible, our experienced Sacramento truck accident attorneys are skilled at negotiating settlements that reflect the maximum amount possible. This may even include pain and suffering, as well as reimbursement for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages or future earning potential, damages to your car, and transportation while your vehicle is being repaired. If these expenses are not fairly covered in a settlement offer and negotiations cannot resolve the issue, your attorney may advise you to file a lawsuit.

Dealing with Trucking Companies’ Insurance Companies

The sooner you call a seasoned lawyer, the better. Our legal staff knows that insurance companies prioritize their interests, and you need someone to look out for yours. We’ll handle all communication with the insurance company and protect you from tactics designed to make your claim easier.

Unique Truck Accident Risks in Sacramento
- High-Traffic Corridors: I-80 and Highway 50 are major trucking routes that pass through Sacramento, leading to increased traffic density and a higher risk of accidents.
- Urban Congestion: Sacramento’s urban environment, especially in the narrow streets of Downtown Sacramento and the suburban neighborhoods with 24/7 traffic on streets like Greenback Lane, Arden Way, and Sunrise Boulevard, can make it challenging for truck drivers to navigate tight spaces and interact with pedestrians and cyclists.
- Construction Zones: Ongoing road construction and infrastructure projects, like those throughout North Sacramento and near Sacramento International Airport, can create hazardous conditions for truck drivers and motorists.
The Cost of Hiring a Sacramento Truck Accident Attorney: Nothing Until You Win
Our contingency fee structure means that if one of our Eason & Tambornini Sacramento truck accident attorneys agrees to take your case, you will only be charged a fee or bill once your case is settled. If you don’t win, we don’t get paid. Period. This is also why we will answer your questions honestly at your initial free consultation. No lawyer wants to work for free, and no collision victim wants to walk away with a less-than-fair settlement. We go into every case intending to win and secure everything our clients deserve under the law.
