Truck Accidents in California
California’s highways, including I-15, are vital corridors for passenger and commercial vehicles alike. Unfortunately, the mix of traffic and heavy use by large trucks like semi-trailers can often result in serious accidents, especially in areas like Victorville.
Collisions involving semi-trucks tend to have more severe consequences due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Common causes of truck accidents include driver fatigue, distracted driving, improper lane changes, and equipment failures. Nighttime driving, as in this case, often adds challenges such as reduced visibility and increased driver fatigue.
If you are involved in an accident with a semi-truck, it is essential to prioritize safety by seeking medical attention, contacting emergency services, and documenting the scene. Evidence like photos and witness accounts can be crucial for insurance claims or legal actions.
Victims of truck accidents have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, and other damages. Consulting with a legal professional can help ensure their rights are protected and that they receive fair treatment in dealing with insurance companies.
