Truck Accidents in California

California is a leading state for commercial traffic, and with that comes a high rate of truck and bus collisions. Accidents involving large vehicles are often more dangerous due to their size and weight. In 2023, California reported over 13,000 crashes involving large trucks, many of which resulted in serious injuries or fatalities.

Victims of these types of accidents often face challenges that differ from those in passenger vehicle crashes. Here are some of the key issues:

• Higher Risk of Serious Injury: Truck and bus collisions often cause more severe injuries due to the force of impact. Victims may suffer spinal cord injuries, broken bones, or head trauma that require extensive recovery and rehabilitation.
• Complex Insurance and Liability Issues: Commercial vehicle accidents involve multiple layers of insurance and corporate policies. It can be difficult to determine who is responsible—driver, company, or vehicle manufacturer. Legal help is essential for identifying all liable parties.
• Delays Due to Corporate Investigations: Trucking and bus companies often conduct internal reviews after a crash, which may delay the release of important evidence. Having legal counsel ensures timely access to crucial information like maintenance records and driver logs.
• Regulatory Compliance Questions: Commercial drivers are subject to strict federal and state regulations, including limits on hours behind the wheel. Violations of these rules often come into play and may point to negligence or fatigue as a cause.
