Your Legal Options After a FedEx Crash in Palmdale, CA

If you are hurt in a FedEx truck crash in Palmdale, you may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, vehicle damage, and other losses. The amount available depends on fault, insurance coverage, the extent of your losses, and how the crash affected you.

Once you receive treatment, keeping medical bills, treatment records, prescriptions, and follow-up instructions can help document the care connected with your injuries. Records of missed work and activity limits may also show how the crash has affected your daily life.

When a commercial truck is involved, responsibility may extend beyond the driver. The company operating the truck, a contractor, or another business connected to the vehicle may also share responsibility depending on the driver’s work relationship and the facts of the crash.

Because California follows pure comparative negligence, you may still recover damages even if you share some fault. Any compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of responsibility, making fault an important part of how the value of a claim is determined.

If a claim is filed, medical records, repair estimates, wage documents, and insurance information can help show your losses. Commercial truck claims may also involve maintenance records, company documents, driver records, and other information connected with the truck’s operation.

In California, you generally have two years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some claims have different deadlines, so knowing which time limit applies to your situation can help you avoid filing too late and losing the ability to pursue your claim.
