Truck Accidents in California, CA
Truck accidents in California can have devastating consequences, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles. Truck collisions are more complex than typical car accidents, involving a variety of factors such as driver fatigue, improper maintenance, and dangerous road conditions. Victims may face not only medical expenses and lost wages but also the burden of navigating insurance claims and liability disputes.
When involved in a truck accident, it’s crucial to secure official police reports and document any medical treatment, vehicle damage, or lost wages. These records are essential for pursuing personal injury claims and proving negligence. Victims should also be aware of the statute of limitations for filing claims in California, typically within two years from the date of the accident. Delays in taking legal action could harm the chances of receiving fair compensation.
