Fatal Truck Accidents in California
Being involved in any type of vehicle accident can have an overwhelming impact on a person’s life as well as the lives of their family members. The severity of injuries, damages, and consequences are greatly increased for victims who are injured in collisions with semi-trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles. Nearly 2,900 people are injured in auto collisions throughout California each week. Numerous victims involved in collisions with trucks require immediate medical attention. Regrettably, people involved in truck accidents are more likely to sustain fatal injuries in collisions.
Traffic-related accidents claim the lives of more than 3,500 people across California each year. Trucks are responsible for a large number of these fatal accidents, leaving families throughout our state to deal with unbearable pain and suffering. Vehicle collisions are preventable, yet families are constantly forced to deal with the life-changing consequences of negligent and reckless drivers.
