Orange County Truck Accident Attorney

It is estimated by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration that over 15.5 million trucks operate on roadways throughout the United States. Many of these trucks happen to be tractor trailers, but other types of trucks include commercial trucks, 18-wheelers and big rigs. Each of these trucks is estimated to weigh thousands of pounds and can reach lengths as great as 80 feet. As you can imagine, these trucks are quite massive. Due to their size and lengths, they are also extremely difficult to operate, which is why truck drivers and trucking companies must adhere to regulations and appropriate safety protocol. When truck drivers and/or trucking companies do not follow regulations or partake in safe operational behaviors, a truck accident may ensue.

In the state of California, thousands of truck accidents occur each year and hundreds of these accidents prove to be fatal. People that do manage to survive major truck accidents are often left with debilitating injuries, like brain, spinal cord and/or head injuries that are not only extremely painful, but also very difficult to contend with on a daily basis.
