California Truck Accident Lawyer

WE'VE WON MILLIONS FOR OUR CLIENTS

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, strictly regulates drivers and companies. These rules control the maintenance of vehicles and operational issues to provide the maximum safety for other drivers on our roads and highways.

Because of the size and speed of 18-wheelers and other commercial trucks, loss of control, tired drivers, or other serious issues can turn trucks into incredibly dangerous, heavy, and even lethal projectiles. This is why truck drivers are required to undergo rigorous training and abide by strict schedules to minimize the risk of accidents.

Serious accidents do still happen, however. These are often caused by any of the following:

  • Inadequate training
  • Exhaustion or fatigue
  • Drivers pushed past their limits
  • Improperly maintained vehicles
  • Mechanical failure

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured because of any of the above, please reach out to our California truck accident lawyers at (855) 930-2626 today.

WHO IS LIABLE AFTER A TRUCK ACCIDENT?

In a trucking accident, there are many components to consider when settling on who is responsible for the accident. The following are a few scenarios of fault:

  • The driver may be held liable if they blatantly ignored laws and rules set before them while performing their job
  • The trucking company may be held responsible if they have encouraged their drivers to ignore laws and rules, such as taking rest breaks at the proper times and truck maintenance while on the road
  • The truck manufacturing company may be held liable if the truck itself malfunctioned, causing the accident
  • The cargo and shipping company that loaded the truck may be held responsible if the products being shipped were not properly secured or loaded, causing the accident

If you are a victim of a trucking accident, let us help you!
