Figuring Out If You Need a Lawyer After a GoBolt Accident
Victims who suffer serious injuries in truck and van accidents can usually benefit most from a lawyer’s help. If your injuries are only minor or your accident only involves vehicle damage, you may be fine handling your case yourself.
But if your collision involves a more serious injury, it’s often best to call a lawyer. Injuries that will take longer to heal and bring more medical bills are often more contested by insurance companies. They may try to blame you for an accident. GoBolt can also afford company lawyers who could focus on downplaying your injuries so they can offer you less in support.
If you have these or other serious injuries, a lawyer’s investigative skills and evidence collection could make a big difference in the support you take home:
- Head trauma
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Hip, knee, and shoulder joint injuries
- Chest injuries
- Muscle, ligament, and tendon strains and tears
- Deep cuts and puncture wounds
- Facial lacerations, a broken nose, and teeth lost
- Permanent physical disabilities
- Injuries suffered by a family member
You can always handle your claim yourself, but a lawyer can often win you more for your injuries, especially when taking on a large company and its lawyers.
Schedule a Free Case Consultation When You Have Questions
It’s natural to doubt the strength of your claim and your chances for securing compensation. But there’s a great, no-risk way to determine what to do next.
Maison Law offers a free case consultation that comes with no obligation to you. It’s a chance to determine what evidence you’ll need to file a strong claim and how a Los Angeles car accident lawyer can help you secure proof of what happened. It’s also a good way to learn what your injury may be worth before GoBolt and its lawyers try to convince you it’s worth very little.
Holding GoBolt and Its Drivers Responsible for Every Recovery Cost
GoBolt and those using its app for work will need to be held accountable for all damages that an accident can cause.
These are just some of the damages a Maison Law attorney will make sure are compensated on a settlement check:
- Current hospital expenses and those expected in the months to come.
- Estimated costs associated with a long-term injury or permanent physical disability.
- Emotional anguish suffered. The loss of enjoyment of life due to an injury. The loss of consortium (loss of intimacy with a spouse).
- Physical pain endured in an impact and during recovery.
- Past and future lost paychecks from work during recovery.
- Property damage to pay for car repairs or car replacement.
- Wrongful death benefits. A family that has lost a loved one to an accident caused by a GoBolt driver’s mistake can ask for support. This claim should demand help with funeral costs. It also seeks to replace the income the deceased would have provided the family in the future. The emotional toll a fatal accident takes must be part of any wrongful death settlement check.
Who Is Responsible for a GoBolt Van Accident?
Figuring out where to direct your accident claim may be one of the hardest parts of your recovery process. You’ll have medical bills arriving in your mailbox while losing more and more paychecks at work due to your injury. To have a careless driver and a company both denying responsibility for what happened can push you to your limits.
In California, GoBolt operates in Los Angeles and services the surrounding area. They use a lot of freelance drivers who use their own vehicles to make “last mile” deliveries. These types of deliveries usually involve companies wanting to get their shipments faster, especially if their goods are just sitting at a local warehouse awaiting delivery. GoBolt routes bridge the gap to local businesses.
- Owner/Operator Drivers. Some GoBolt drivers use their own vehicles and must have their own vehicle insurance. This insurance policy may be where you start. Unfortunately, an individual policy may only cover the bare minimum in damages for victims.
- Fleet Operators. GoBolt may work with local trucking companies to help them connect to local businesses in need of a lightning-fast delivery. These businesses may cover their drivers with a company-wide policy.
- GoBolt Liability. Some drivers use GoBolt-provided electric vehicles to make deliveries. Some of these drivers are full-time employees and would be covered by GoBolt’s commercial insurance protection. This means the victims of accidents could draw from a usually larger policy.
An experienced attorney can help you sort out this confusing blame game after an accident. GoBolt may deny responsibility in most accidents, but Maison Law can assist you in forcing them to accept accountability for mistakes by their drivers, no matter how they classify their employees.
Dangerous Truck Drivers on Los Angeles Freeways
GoBolt’s gig business model can put many independent contractors on local highways and boulevards. The company’s deliveries are carried by heavy vans and large trucks to thousands of different addresses each week.
These giant vehicles can be hard to control, and a lapse in good hiring practices can put inexperienced drivers on the road.
These are just a few of the delivery driver dangers and maintenance negligence that can leave GoBolt liable for accidents:
- Distracted delivery drivers
- Drowsy delivery drivers
- Exhausted drivers who don’t take mandated breaks
- Intoxicated drivers
- Reckless and speeding drivers
- Trucks and vans with bald tires
- Trucks and vans with worn brake pads
- Heavy loads
- Shifting loads
Proving these errors in judgment and lapses in vehicle care can be difficult, especially if you are still in the hospital. Our Los Angeles truck accident lawyers can fully investigate what happened and collect evidence on your behalf. Our team can even rely on accident reconstruction teams to reveal the mistakes that caused a terrible accident.
Contact a Los Angeles GoBolt Delivery Accident Attorney
The victims of a GoBolt driver-involved accident have up to two years to file accident claims. But victims shouldn’t wait months or years to take action. Allowing your attorney to get started on your case can mean that fresh evidence is still available and witnesses are easier to locate.
Surveillance video and dash cam video of the van accident may also exist, and your attorney will need to request it before it’s erased.
Maison Law provides free consultations and case reviews to all California victims hurt by GoBolt delivery drivers. Inexperienced and reckless drivers can put other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists at extreme risk, and any delivery company needs to take full responsibility when collisions completely change someone’s life.
If you feel we can help you earn more, you don’t have to stress about how you’ll pay a lawyer. We don’t ask for any payment unless we win your case for you. Then our fee comes out of the settlement check that GoBolt and its insurers must write for you and your family.
