Walnut Creek Truck Accident Attorney
Were you hit by a big rig in the Bay Area? Call Fetto Law Group!
Big rigs and large commercial trucks are a common fixture on the highways of California. These trucks play a crucial role in the state and national economy - and some people expect the number of commercial trucks on national highways to double by 2015. Unfortunately, these trucks can also pose a tangible danger to other drivers on the road because of the vehicles' massive size and mass, which easily tips the scales at 20 times the weight of an average passenger car.
If you or someone close to you was hurt in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation. It is important to talk to a truck accident attorney in the San Francisco East Bay Area right away.
Many people wait before talking to a lawyer about their injury or do not seek medical attention right away, but these are both dangerous mistakes. If you put off receiving medical care, your claims could be diminished.

What To Do if You Are Involved in a truck Accident
If you are involved in a truck accident you should:
- Move away from traffic or danger if possible
- Call 911 and request medical assistance
- If able, collect the drivers contact information and drivers license number as well as their employers information
- Gather witness statements if possible
- Give a police statement and collect the officers badge number
- Seek professional medical assistance
It's recommended that you avoid discussing the accident with the other driver or their insurance company. The insurance company is, at it's core, protecting its own interests and so it's important that you are cautious of what information you give them in the event that they use your statements to undervalue your claim.

A letter of appreciation to John and his Team, I was in a bad car accident; I was rear-ended so hard it took two tow trucks to pull the vehicles apart. I was referred to John Fetto by my healthcare professional. I was worried if I could even get compensation because I had a long history of neck and back problems. I ended up needing physical therapy, multiple Epidural Steroid Injections in my neck, and finally surgery to fuse 3 vertebrae. After going through the deposition and medical examination requested by the other side, the opposing insurance company did not want to pay anything because of my prior history. John would have none of that and he began to prepare for court. He assembled an amazing team to fight on my behalf. Kenia collected and assembled years of my medical history. Russell produced documents, coordinated zoom meetings, and created an amazing visual presentation to present in court. John, knowing I was willing to go to court, called in Sandy Cipinko, an excellent trial attorney. The two of them worked flawlessly together each handling different aspects of the case. John is a true professional. John, Sandy, and their amazing team took me from the possibility of getting nothing, to a settlement I never dreamed possible. This shows you that, even with an extensive medical history, you can still come out a winner with John and his team. I will always be grateful to them. Sincerely, Rose- Rose A.

I have had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Fetto and his staff on a personal injury auto accident that had transpired several years ago. He has been professional, forthright and very helpful in attaining justice because the person who T-boned me had the same insurance company as myself. So, AAA did not wish to sue themselves and I got stuck with a lot of expense i.e. depreciation for my automobile as they did not total it, put the accident on my driving record when I had witnesses that said that it was not my fault, neck injury, etc., etc., John has been on top of everything, is compassionate and caring along with knowing the law and I trust him. I would recommend his services to anyone seeking a lawyer for personal injury as he is the best.- Marci K.
