Vehicle Accidents in California

Statistics have proven that whenever passenger vehicles collide with larger trucks, the passenger vehicle gets more damaged and its occupants obtain more severe injuries. The damages are so drastic in comparison due to the contrasting size and weight between the two vehicles. The main causes of most truck accidents are driver’s fatigue and mechanical errors, which the federal government has created rules and regulations to try to prevent these accidents from happening.

The police are currently investigating this accident to determine what led up to the crash and who will be held liable for the damages. Once they finish their reports, there’s a possibility that personal injury lawsuits will get filed with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
