Truck Accident Victim?
We Can Help.
Any form of automobile collision may result in catastrophic or deadly injuries. However, when a semi-truck or tractor-trailer collides, the risk of catastrophic casualties is significantly greater. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), truck crashes resulted in the injuries of 6,897 persons and the deaths of 327 people in 2017.
If a truck driver causes an accident, the driver and their trucking firm may be held liable for any injuries resulting from the accident. These disputes are often complex, involving both federal and state law and significant insurance corporations wanting to safeguard their profits.
You may be able to obtain truck accident settlement for medical costs, lost earnings, property damage, pain and suffering, and more by filing a personal injury claim. Starting with a free consultation, an experienced Northern California truck accident attorney can assist you with the procedure.

Why Should You Hire a California Truck Accident Lawyer?
Truck rollovers are defined as incidents involving delivery trucks, 18-wheelers, or semi trucks that tip over while on the road. These collisions are hazardous not just to the vehicle’s driver, but also to everyone who is in the surrounding vicinity of the truck. The sheer size of a truck may practically crush other cars and persons in the event of a rollover.

Truck Rollovers: How do they happen?
A truck rollover crash may occur for a few causes. High wind, rain, and other weather conditions may make huge vehicles especially prone to toppling over. The mobility of the truck is limited owing to the large size and weight, therefore making it difficult to drive even under normal circumstances. A trucks balance and load may significantly enhance the likelihood of a rollover if not prepared appropriately.
Many trucking businesses may overload vehicles in order to lower the cost of delivery, regrettably these business methods might possibly lead to significant casualties. You should not be made to suffer unnecessarily from anything of this type. For this reason, if you’ve just been engaged in a truck rollover caused by the conduct of a third party, do not spend another second, get our company involved in your injury claim soon.
Liability in the Event of a Commercial Truck Collision
When more than one commercial vehicle is involved in an accident, it is common for charges of fault and responsibility to be made and assigned quickly. If you find yourself in this scenario, you will almost certainly need competent legal advice to completely investigate and scrutinise all facts and circumstances in order to legally show that you are not at fault for the incident. If you are found guilty of causing an accident while driving a commercial truck, your commercial driver’s licence may be suspended or revoked, resulting in the loss of your present and future work eligibility.

A colossal tanker truck can transport liquids ranging from 5,500 to 11,600 gallons, including gasoline, fuel, water, milk, sewage waste, or industrial chemicals. Tanker trucks have a greater center of gravity than other commercial vehicles due to their design, which might increase the probability of a collision. If a truck driver gets behind the wheel when tired (in violation of hours-of-service laws) or while under the influence of alcohol, street drugs, or even prescribed medicine, they may be more likely to cause a crash. A truck driver who is just reckless or negligent, speeding, following too closely behind another vehicle, or texting while driving is subject to the same penalties.
You should consult a doctor after a vehicle collision. In the early aftermath of an accident, injuries are sometimes evident. Symptoms of severe illnesses might sometimes take a long time to appear. Regardless of how you feel just after the accident, you should seek medical attention.
You should also speak with an attorney. Many individuals make the mistake of attempting to handle their legal issues on their own. This may put you at risk of receiving inadequate settlement offers. You need an expert truck accident lawyer on your side to protect your rights.
A variety of factors may cause a truck collision. For example, if the driver was at fault, they might be held accountable for the accident. It’s also possible that the driver’s trucking corporation is to blame. If the vehicle has a flaw that caused the accident, the manufacturer might be held accountable.
An expert truck accident lawyer can assist you in determining who or what is to blame. However, to claim truck accident settlement, you must show that you were at fault for the accident.
Taking your truck accident lawsuit to court is contingent on a few factors. To begin, consider how the settlement discussions are progressing. If you and the other party are unable to reach an agreement, going to court may be your only choice for obtaining compensation.
Second, the strength of your case will determine whether or not you go to court. Taking a case to court may be costly and time-consuming. Before you file a lawsuit, you need be sure that your case is strong enough to prevail. Our knowledgeable San Jose truck accident lawyers can assist you in determining the possibility of your case being successful in court.
Several different agencies may look into your California truck accident claim. The local police department or the state police department may investigate the specifics of the accident.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration may potentially investigate your claim. This government agency maintains track of commercial truck drivers’ driving histories.
They may investigate the offending truck driver if they get any complaints.
The truck driver’s insurance company will investigate your claim. You should consult with a truck accident attorney to prevent yourself from receiving insufficient compensation. In your instance, having your truck accident attorney examine the problem is crucial.
