Commercial Vehicle Accidents Caused by Trucks and Trailers Throughout California

Negligently driven 18-wheelers may cause car wrecks that have lasting consequences for everyone involved. Driven by over-tired or overworked truck drivers, these trucks can be some of the most dangerous vehicles because of their large size. Basic physics can show that the bio-mechanical force of a commercial truck versus a small car can cause severe damage.  

Rental vehicles, like rented trailers and moving vans, are often driven by people who do not know how to drive commercial-type vehicles. They have no driving experience with these vehicles. They are sometimes poorly maintained or carry loads that are improperly secured. We are well-equipped to look for these details and handle these injury cases.

Bus and School Bus Accidents

When you or your child has been involved in a bus crash, it can seem as if life will never be the same. We understand, and our goal is to help you move forward by gaining full and fair compensation for your child's injuries. While no amount of money can ever compensate for your health or the life of a loved one, taking legal action does more than give you the resources to go on — it holds negligent actors accountable for the harm they cause through their actions or in action.  

This is never truer than for parents whose minor children have been injured in a school bus accident. School buses carry the things that are most precious to parents — their children — but they don't even have seat belts! When a child is injured in a school bus accident, we can guide you through the legal process every step of the way.

Accidents Caused by Police and Governmental Vehicles

We also represent people injured by police and governmental vehicles. Sometimes, in the heat of a car chase, these drivers engage in negligent driving that violates department policies and procedures. Legal action can hold them accountable for the personal injuries they cause.

Yet, you must act quickly if you have been injured by a governmental vehicle—time limits set by California law run out quickly.  Time limits are known as Statute of Limitations, and they vary depending on the type of accident that produced the injury.  You need to be mindful of this under California law!
