Semi-Truck Accidents in California
California’s highways, including SR-60, are crucial corridors for commercial trucking, making them frequent sites of semi-truck accidents. Due to the sheer size and weight of big rigs, collisions involving semi-trucks often result in serious or catastrophic injuries.
Studies show that truck accidents in California have been on the rise, with driver fatigue, speeding, improper lane changes, and mechanical failures among the most common causes. Ontario, located in San Bernardino County, is a major hub for freight transport, increasing the likelihood of truck-related crashes in the region.
Victims of semi-truck accidents may face extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and financial hardships. It is crucial for injured individuals to seek legal advice, document the accident, and explore potential compensation options for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
