Truck Accidents in California
Dealing with the aftermath of an automobile accident can be especially difficult. Unfortunately, when semi-trucks are involved in accidents, the chances of severe and catastrophic injuries are dramatically increased.
Unfortunately, there are many instances where innocent people suffer severe and traumatic injuries and accidents due to driver negligence. When drivers are distracted, impaired, and or engaging in other reckless actions, they can cause crashes that leave people seriously harmed.
When innocent victims are heard in semi-truck accidents, they are able to take legal action. Unlike other types of collisions, truck accidents tend to be far more complex. This is due to the fact that there are multiple parties who can be held liable for the resulting injuries and damages.
After a truck accident, you may be able to file a claim against the driver. This is particularly true in cases where the driver engaged in reckless actions that directly caused you harm. In addition, he may be able to file a claim against the truck company. If the trucking company was reckless when hiring workers to operate their vehicles, they can assume liability for any resulting damages. In other cases, cargo companies, part manufacturers, and even maintenance companies can be held liable. A Newhall truck accident lawyer can help to identify who is liable for your accident and take legal action against them.
