Blind-spot truck accidents are collisions that occur in areas where a truck driver had zero or limited visibility of the other vehicle. Semi-trucks and commercial vehicles generally have several major blind spots that increase the risk for accidents when changing lanes, turning, or backing up. Truck drivers can cause blind spot accidents through the following types of negligent or wrongful acts:
Your first step after a blind spot semi-truck accident in Sacramento should be to contact local emergency responders. Their job is to coordinate necessary emergency medical care and to establish a record of the accident. Our lawyers can use this information to evaluate claims of fault and advise on legal options for pursuing compensation from liable parties or applicable insurance policies.
California also has several different statutes of limitations that could apply to a personal injury claim following a truck accident. The filing period is commonly two years under California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, but can be as short as six months in cases involving a government agency. Our lawyers can review the circumstances of a truck accident to determine possible filing deadlines necessary to protect your legal right to pursue a claim in court.
Liability for a blind-spot 18-wheeler accident in Sacramento will depend on the acts or omissions of each driver. In general, owners are liable for the injuries and damages that result from the negligent or wrongful operation of their vehicle under California Vehicle Code § 17150. Sacramento truck accidents often involve drivers who are employees or independent contractors working on behalf of other persons or businesses. These relationships and other circumstances can quickly complicate liability for the damages from a related injury.
Our lawyers draw on their experience handling truck accident cases to identify all potentially at-fault parties and pursue fair compensation for damages. The compensation recovered from an accident will be unique to your injury and the damages that ensue. For example, we may seek compensation for medical and life care costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other negative effects that a truck accident injury has on your quality of life.
