Truck Accidents in California

In 2016, studies show that out of the 3,986 fatalities caused by truck accidents, 66 percent of those people were occupants of passenger vehicles. Whenever large trucks and smaller vehicles collide, the occupants of the smaller vehicles are more liable to receive injuries due to the contrast in size and weight of each vehicle. To prevent so many accidents from happening, federal rules and regulations were created that all truck companies are expected to enforce among their truck drivers. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, truck accidents still occur daily.

The police are investigating this accident to determine what caused these two vehicles to collide. They’re checking both vehicles for mechanical errors and defective auto parts to see if these factors played a role in the crash. They’re also checking the mental, physical, and emotional condition of both drivers at the time of the crash. Once they’re finished investigating, the injured woman may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
