Truck Accident Attorney Fighting For Injured Victims In Ventura County

Being hit by a truck can transform your life in an instant. Commercial vehicle collisions often result in catastrophic injuries, substantial medical expenses and significant lost wages. The overwhelming physical, emotional and financial burden can leave victims wondering where to turn for help.

Attorney Deirdre Frank has over 40 years of experience representing truck accident victims throughout Ventura, California. At Deirdre Frank Personal Injury Ventura, she understands the complex nature of commercial vehicle collisions and has the knowledge, resources and determination to hold negligent parties accountable.

The Devastating Impact Of Commercial Truck Collisions

Accidents involving commercial vehicles typically cause more severe injuries than standard passenger vehicle crashes due to the substantial size and weight disparity. The injuries commonly sustained in 18-wheeler accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries requiring lifelong care
  • Spinal cord damage leading to partial or complete paralysis
  • Multiple bone fractures necessitating surgical intervention
  • Internal organ damage demanding emergency medical treatment
  • Severe burns resulting in permanent disfigurement

These catastrophic injuries often require extensive hospitalization, multiple surgeries, ongoing rehabilitation and long-term medical care. The financial impact can quickly reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, creating an overwhelming burden for victims and their families.

Navigating The Complexity Of Truck Accident Claims

Semi-truck accident cases are often more complex than typical car crash claims. Multiple parties may share liability, including:

  • The truck driver whose negligence caused the accident
  • The trucking company responsible for hiring and training
  • The maintenance provider that serviced the vehicle
  • The manufacturer of defective truck components
  • The cargo loading company that improperly secured freight

Additionally, commercial carriers maintain substantial insurance policies with teams of adjusters and attorneys dedicated to minimizing payouts. They often deploy investigators to the accident scene immediately to collect evidence favorable to their defense.

To level the playing field, truck accident victims need experienced legal representation. As your lawyer, Ms. Frank conducts thorough investigations, preserves critical evidence and works with accident reconstruction specialists to determine exactly what happened and who should be held responsible.
