Truck Accidents in California
Commercial vehicle accidents, such as those involving big rigs, pose unique challenges and risks on California roadways. Areas like Interstate 5, a major corridor for freight transport, see significant volumes of truck traffic, increasing the likelihood of collisions.
Truck accidents can result in severe injuries due to the size and weight disparity between commercial vehicles and passenger cars or pickup trucks. Contributing factors in these crashes may include driver fatigue, mechanical issues, improper lane changes, or distracted driving. Additionally, navigating complex roadways, such as onramps, can increase the risk of an accident.
Victims of truck accidents often face not only physical injuries but also emotional and financial hardships, especially when medical expenses and lost wages are involved. In these situations, understanding one’s legal options can help mitigate the burdens associated with such incidents.
