California Truck Accident Attorney

There are very few commercial truck accidents in California that do not result in serious injuries or death

The fact is truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputations

The injuries suffered in a big rig truck accident in many instances call for extended treatment and rehabilitation. This means that an injured victim can lose time from work while facing sky-high medical bills and other expenses. Truck accidents that result in fatalities, families might end up losing their sole breadwinner as a result. Families will not only undergo severe emotional distress during these tough times, but also significant financial strain as a result of the added medical/funeral expenses and loss of wages.

The tragic truth of semi truck accident cases is a majority of the accidents are preventable; either caused by negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the truck driver or the trucking firm. The most common causes of California trucking accidents, according to recent studies are:

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Fatigued Drivers
Reckless Driving
Poor maintenance of trucks or big rigs (tire or brake failure)
Overloading
Failing to secure or balance the load
Jackknifing
Defective auto products

When a truck accident is caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of a truck driver

Their employer can usually also be held liable for the injuries damages and losses caused

Truck accidents are also much more complex than other auto accident cases because you are usually dealing with a large firm that will immediately deploy its resources including insurance experts and attorneys to work on the case. These individuals and entities will get to work for the trucking firm from day one of the accident collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses and doing everything in their power to strengthen their case and reduce the value of your claim. They are in the business of making sure you get the least amount of compensation no matter how much at fault their company was.
