California witnesses an average of 113 fatal truck crashes every year. Of all the accidents, about 3,000 of them result in serious injuries, and many drivers lose their lives from the impact. Injuried victims have to deal with piling medical bills for physical and mental treatment, not to mention the lost wages, property damage, and other losses that victims of such crashes suffer.

How To Choose The Best Truck Accident Lawyer
You can only get a fair settlement from the insurance company following your truck accident by hiring the best lawyer for your case. But how do you know if an attorney is right for the job? Here are some pointers to keep in mind to nudge you in the right direction in the hunt for the best truck accident lawyer in California.
Experience
The experience of any professional speaks volumes about their quality. The same is the case with lawyers. Consider only those attorneys who not only have experience in practicing law but also in fighting cases similar to yours. In your free consultation, ask the lawyer whether they have dealt with cases similar to yours, and if yes, what was the success rate, and whether the case went to trial.
Ask what their win rate is in the court of law. These particulars would help you distinguish one legal professional from another based on experience and expertise. The Law Offices of Rosenstock and Azran have been representing personal injury victims for 30 years. Schedule a free consultation with us now to know more about our feats.
Contingency Fee
Look for lawyers who charge fees on a contingency basis. You’d only have to pay the lawyer once the case is concluded, according to this fee structure. The attorney would take their fixed percent of share from the total compensation, which you would get either through an insurance company settlement or through a court verdict.
If the lawyers fail to get you any compensation, they won’t get a penny from your case. The lawyer’s share percentage generally starts from 33% and can go as high as 40% if the prospect of trial or lawsuits is on the cards.
Communication
Truck accident cases can take about 6 to 12 months to conclude. Throughout the case, you’d want your lawyer to stay connected with you and keep you posted on any updates. Look for a lawyer who is quick to respond to you. In addition to this, choose a personal injury attorney who educates you on personal injury law and legal process in layman’s terms and not delve into the technical jargon of the field.
The lawyers at The Law Offices of Rosenstock and Azran will simplify the legal terms for you. We want our clients to make an informed decision after hearing of all the legal options they have.

Compatibility
There should be trust between the attorney and the client for the relationship to work. You need to be 100% honest with your lawyer about the facts and disclose all the information surrounding the case. To reach that level of transparency, you should be compatible with the professional.
So before you hire a lawyer, make sure that you connect with them based on compatibility and mutual trust. You would be able to gauge the level of compatibility with the attorney during your free consultation with them. Use the meeting as an opportunity to see if you can strike a chord with them.

Expectations
Nobody can predict the outcome of your case, not even your lawyer. Everyone can do their best to recover fair compensation, but several uncertain factors decide how much you get for your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other losses.
However, the least you can do is convey your expectations to the lawyer and see what they think about it. One lawyer may think you are too ambitious in your expectations, while another may think you’re too modest. It’s good to let the professional know what you’re expecting and see whether your visions align. You can choose a professional accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What if the government-owned the vehicle?
There are cases when the collision happens with government-owned trucks for municipal purposes or for daily maintenance and running tasks. If the vehicle is government-owned, the claim process is slightly altered. For starters, you will need to file the claim sooner as the statute of limitation is shorter. Consult with an attorney to get the correct legal advice and help.
How much will the attorney fees be?
Lawyers representing personal injury cases charge a fee on a contingency basis, meaning we will not charge any fees if you do not recover any compensation.
How much compensation can I recover?
We calculate damages suffered based on your pain and suffering and loss, including mental anguish, current and future medical bills, loss of wages, and loss of companionship. Contact us to be rightly able to assess the compensation you can recover.
