Do I need an attorney specializing in Truck and Big Rig Accidents?

Trucking accidents along California’s roads and highways can be devastating and frequently cause severe injury or death to those involved. Automobiles, motorcycles, and most other vehicles are simply no match for semi-trucks and tractor-trailer rigs when it comes to collisions.

In 2023 in the state of California, there were 364 fatal crashes involved large trucks, the second-highest state total in the nation.

Causes include:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol
• Excessive speed
• Distracted driving
• Aggressive, careless driving
• Improper lane changes or passing
• Violation of automobile/pedestrian right-of-way
• Ignoring traffic signals or signs
• Falling asleep at the wheel/Failure to observe hours-of-service regulations
• Failing to properly maintain the truck
• Driver inexperience
• Cargo improperly secured
• Texting while driving.

With a growing number of commercial trucks, 18-wheelers, and utility vehicles on the road throughout Northern California, automobile drivers are at greater risk of injury in a truck accident than ever before.

While in most instances, accidents are often the fault of the truck driver, other factors also come into play including highway surface conditions, faulty median rail protections, defective truck tires or parts, signage problems, and the weather. It is important to consult an injury attorney with considerable experience dealing not only with large commercial insurance companies but also with public entities such as Caltrans – the California Department of Transportation – that may also be at fault.

Truck accident lawsuits are time-sensitive and complicated. The firm of Barr and Mudford has the proven experience and record of success to deal with the complexities of these cases and provide the strong legal representation necessary to ensure that you receive fair compensation for damages and injuries you may have suffered.
