How Does the Federal Tort Claim Act Impact Your USPS Truck Accident?
Our Encino personal injury lawyers know that the federal government categorizes USPS truck drivers as its employees. As such, USPS truck drivers benefit from insurance offered under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). To financially recover from a collision with a USPS truck driver, you will need to file a claim with the federal government for reimbursement.
Working with an experienced attorney makes it easier to determine:
- Whether or not a USPS truck driver was directly responsible for your losses
- What data you need to bring a claim forward under the Federal Tort Claim Act
- How you can demand compensation for all of your losses under the aforementioned act
What’s more, collaborating with our legal team can help you stay ahead of any deadlines that might infringe on your right to financially recover from a collision.
The sooner you can book a free case consultation with our team, the sooner we can outline what steps you need to take to get the accident compensation you deserve.
What Evidence Do You Need After a USPS Truck Accident?
The evidence you can use to prove your right to make a claim under the Federal Tort Claim Act may include:
- Video footage of your accident
- Photos from before and after your USPS truck accident
- Witness statements
- A USPS truck’s black box data
- Physical debris from the accident scene
- Expert witness testimony, including input from emergency responders and police officers
Our legal team can connect you with professional investigators who can gather this information on your behalf. Our experience representing people injured by federal employees can make it easier for us to prove that:
- A liable driver or affiliated party was acting within the scope of their assigned responsibilities at the time of your collision.
- That party’s negligence had a direct impact on your accident and injuries.
Third Parties and USPS Delivery Truck Accidents
If an investigation into your collision reveals that a third party’s negligence contributed to your losses, you may have the right to file an insurance claim with that party’s private insurance provider.
If their provider won’t offer you the settlement you need to pay your bills, our team can work with you to file a personal injury claim against them.
Some of the most common third parties to find themselves involved in USPS truck accidents can include pedestrians, cyclists, private motorists, and construction crews.
(310) 526-8383When Should You Schedule a Case Consultation With an Encino USPS Truck Accident Lawyer?
We encourage you to schedule a USPS truck accident case evaluation with our team shortly after your collision. Working with an Encino USPS truck accident attorney can put a stop to efforts to reduce your post-accident support, ensuring that you have the chance to ask for compensation that addresses all of your economic and non-economic losses.
Your case evaluation with our team comes free of charge and does not lock you into any specific kind of legal action. Getting to know our staff instead allows you to elaborate on the negligence that contributed to your losses before determining whether you want to pursue a claim under the Federal Tort Claim Act or a personal injury lawsuit.
Our team knows how to navigate both fields and can help you:
- Gather the evidence needed to move your case forward
- Prove that someone else’s misconduct directly contributed to your losses
- Calculate the value of your economic and non-economic losses, ensuring you have the chance to maximize your accident losses
- Make sure you file your paperwork within the 6-month FTCA deadline or California’s personal injury statute of limitations (Cal. Civ. Code § 335.1), depending on who’s liable for your damages
- Represent you in conversations with a liable party, legal representatives, federal adjusters, and other parties
- Arrange settlement negotiations on your behalf and ensure conversations remain focused on your right to comprehensive financial aid
- Litigate on your behalf
Our Legal Team Works on a Contingency Fee Basis
You don’t have to worry about legal fees when you turn to Omega Law Group for legal support. Our Encino USPS truck accident attorneys want to make their legal services available to everyone in need of support following serious accidents. That’s why we establish contingency agreements with our clients upon the start of their cases.
Our contingency fee agreements ensure that you don’t have to pay a retainer or deposit to start working with our staff and that you won’t receive any bills from our office while your case progresses.
Instead, we only get paid once we win your case, at which point we take an agreed-upon percentage of your final settlement.
What’s the Average USPS Truck Accident Settlement in California?
Our team doesn’t refer to an overarching “average” when assigning a value to the settlement we demand from the party liable for your USPS losses.
Instead, we account for your individual economic and non-economic expenses. These may include the cost of your emergency medical care, additional medical care, lost wages, and lost benefits.
We use a concrete paper trail to assign dollar values to these losses. We can also refer to precedent and your specific circumstances to ensure you can ask for damages based on your reduced quality of life, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and mental anguish.
If you lose a loved one in a USPS truck accident, we can file a wrongful death claim on your behalf and argue for damages that encompass a loved one’s funeral costs, mortuary expenses, and lost income in addition to your loss of consortium, companionship, and grief.
