Truck Accidents

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often result in severe injuries because of the size, weight, and force involved when a large commercial vehicle collides with a smaller passenger vehicle. In California, thousands of people are injured in truck crashes each year, and these accidents are more likely to cause catastrophic outcomes such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, or death. Common causes of truck accidents include driver fatigue, speeding, improper cargo loading, unsafe lane changes, and violations of federal and state trucking safety rules. Trucking companies and their insurers frequently try to minimize liability by shifting blame to the smaller vehicle, disputing driver logs, or pointing to shared fault. These cases are often complex because they involve multiple potentially responsible parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, lease operators, maintenance providers, and their insurers. California law allows injured people to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care.
