Free Report: What Does Fault in California Truck Accidents Mean?

July 13, 2015 by Michael Waks

Fault in Califorrnia Truck Accidents

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a truck crash, you may be entitled to compensation.  California is a fault state under its motor vehicle accident liability laws. This means when an individual or company’s negligence causes a collision to occur, those responsible for causing the accident must provide compensation to crash victims. Trucking companies carry insurance to pay damages, but victims must pursue a damage claim in order to recover the money they are entitled to by law when someone hurts them.

Testimonials

Michael represented me in a personal injury case and I can’t recommend him enough. From the very first consultation he made sure that I was always aware of my options and up to speed with every aspect of my case. He answered all my questions and used his experience and expertise to help guide my decisions instead of trying to make them all for me. He not only ensured that the settlement I received was more than enough to cover all my bills and expenses but he also made sure I had piece of mind and would be taken care of going forward.
