California Truck Accident Attorney

The commercial trucking industry serves a valuable purpose to businesses and consumers throughout California and the rest of the U.S. However, with increasing numbers of large trucks on California roadways, it is no coincidence that truck accidents continue to occur with startling frequency. Of all motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents are often the most serious and cause the most fatalities to occupants of other vehicles, motorcyclists, pedestrians or bicyclists. The immense size and weight of a commercial truck leaves any other vehicles or persons involved at a severe disadvantage.

In 2007, there were 361 large trucks (those weighing over 10,000 pounds) involved in fatal auto accidents in California. According to statistics compiled by the NHTSA (National Traffic Highway Safety Administration) 83% of those people who lost their lives in U.S. trucking accidents in 2007 were occupants of other vehicles or non-occupants (cyclists or pedestrians). Only 17% of fatalities were occupants of the large truck.
