Truck Injury Accidents in California
Traffic accidents involving commercial trucks and other large vehicles can lead to devastating injuries in a matter of seconds. A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles alone often result in devastating collisions with other motorists.
Following a commercial truck accident, the next step is often determining how it occurred and who should be held responsible. Deciding liability for these types of collisions can be complicated. An experienced truck accident attorney will know how to investigate your case and what information to request. Commercial trucking companies often try to deny fault for accidents involving their drivers, which will make it difficult for victims to pursue a legal case against them.
