To fight for justice and fair compensation after a big rig accident, it’s vital to clearly demonstrate what or who caused the crash. This determines who may be liable and if there are multiple parties to pursue for compensation, like the trucking company, insurance company, driver, or even mechanic. Our semi-truck accident lawyers in California have helped victims of accidents caused by:

• Aggressive or Reckless Driving: Drivers are expected to meet quotas, putting pressure on them that can lead to reckless driving behavior like speeding, tailgating, and lane changes that increase the risk of an accident.
• Drowsy Driving: Although truckers have limitations on the number of hours they can drive consecutively, driver fatigue causes countless collisions when truckers face heavy demands and repeated long shifts.
• Distracted Driving: In California, truck drivers are prohibited from using handheld devices while driving; however, GPSs and phones are often necessary for accessing driving directions, contacting dispatch, and verifying delivery information.
• Cargo Problems: For semis to function it’s critical for cargo to be properly secured and loaded with even weight distribution. Unsecured or unbalanced loads can cause drivers to lose control or cargo to fly off the truck resulting in serious accidents.
• Mechanical Problems: These can be caused by lack of required maintenance or manufacturing defects. Catastrophic accidents can result from blowouts, engine failure, or brake problems.
