Truck Accidents in California
Collisions involving commercial trucks, such as big rigs, often result in significant damage and serious injuries. Due to their size and weight, large trucks require longer stopping distances, and accidents involving passenger vehicles can be severe, particularly when high speeds or sudden maneuvers are involved.
Interstate 405 is one of California’s busiest highways, and crashes in this corridor often stem from factors such as driver fatigue, speeding, distracted driving, or mechanical failures. Investigations into truck accidents typically assess whether vehicle maintenance issues, driver error, or road conditions played a role.
For those injured in truck-related collisions, the road to recovery can be challenging. Medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and vehicle repairs can place a significant financial burden on victims. Understanding legal rights is crucial in such cases, as determining liability in truck accidents often involves multiple parties, including trucking companies and insurers.
