Commercial Truck Accidents Overview

Need-to-Know Information About Northern California Commercial Truck Accidents

Aiken & Jacobsen, a Sacramento Personal Injury Law Firm
Despite myriad state and federal safety regulations governing the trucking industry in California, commercial truck accidents are still all-too-common occurrences on our roads and highways. At Aiken & Jacobsen, we work closely with commercial truck accident victims throughout Northern California to ensure that they receive maximum compensation for their physical, financial and emotional injuries.

Establishing Causes and Negligence
 
In our experience, most accidents that involve semi trucks, 18-wheelers, delivery vans and other commercial vehicles are the result of some type of business negligence, driver negligence or both. Examples of some of the most common specific causes include:

• Careless driving (driving too fast for conditions, following too close, making unsafe lane changes, etc.)
• Reckless driving (driver fatigue/drowsiness, alcohol or drug use, excessive speed, etc.)
• Distracted driving, using cell phones or computers while driving
• Improper truck maintenance
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Unsecured cargo falling off trucks
• Negligent hiring, training or supervision of driversViolations of local, state or federal trucking regulations

Because trucking accidents often involve many issues -- complex regulations, causes, theories of liability, and multiple potential sources of compensation that can easily be overlooked — it is extremely important that your law firm has a proven ability to handle these cases successfully. Our attorneys have had extensive experience with truck accident lawsuits and have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for previous clients.

As former insurance defense lawyers, we can prevent truck operators and insurance companies from taking advantage of you while preparing a strong case designed to maximize your recovery. This process starts with a thorough investigation, which may involve subpoenaing driver records, maintenance records, logbooks and other documents. We also work with local and national medical and accident reconstruction experts, as needed, to identify and establish truck accident causes, as well as the long-term physical and financial consequences for our clients.
