Truck and Car Accidents on California Highways
California highways, particularly Interstate 5, experience a high number of serious crashes each year due to heavy freight traffic, high-speed travel, and driver fatigue. Collisions involving semi-trucks and passenger vehicles can be particularly devastating due to the size and weight disparities between vehicles.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), thousands of trucking accidents occur annually, with many resulting in injuries or fatalities. Common contributing factors include driver distraction, improper lane changes, mechanical failures, and road hazards.
Victims of highway collisions often face severe injuries, medical expenses, and financial hardship due to recovery time and vehicle damage. Seeking medical attention and legal guidance can help individuals navigate the aftermath of such accidents.
