California Trucking Accident Lawyers
Truck accidents are different from all other types of motor vehicle accidents for many reasons. The main reason is that semi-trucks are so much larger than any other type of vehicle on the road. This size disparity can lead to catastrophic injuries for motorists unfortunate enough to get in an accident with an 18-wheeler.
Truck accidents also involve complex matters of state and federal law. In addition to the regulations set by the California Department of Transportation, trucking companies and truck drivers are subject to federal rules and regulations. These regulations impact all aspects of the trucking industry, from the size and weight of a semi-truck to the maintenance and preservation of records.
Litigation in a truck crash is typically more complex as well. The responsible party may be the driver, the company that owns the tractor, a separate company that owns or leases the trailer, or some combination of the above. Multiple defendants may be involved, and determining which one is responsible for the damages and injuries requires skillful representation by your attorney.
Achieving the Best Possible Results Through Exhaustive Trial Preparation
There are many reasons truck accidents occur. In central California, including Interstate 5, bad weather and fog often play a part. As trucks travel along Highway 50 and Interstate 80 in the Sierra, they can be involved in accidents involving snow or ice. Overloaded trucks, tire blowouts, or other equipment failure can lead to a truck accident. Driver error is the most typical cause for a trucking accident.
