Vehicle Accidents in California
Recent studies reveal that 500,000 truck accidents happen every year in the United States. The leading cause of most truck accidents is negligence, which includes falling asleep at the wheel, using a phone, driving under the influence, or just not paying attention. Other causes are defective auto parts or mechanical issues with the truck. For these reasons, the government requires that all truck companies make their employees complete a log book due at the end of each shift, as well as limiting the amount of work hours a driver can complete per week.
Once the police determine what led up to this accident and who should be held liable, there’s a possibility that a personal injury lawsuit will be filed.
