Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks, big-rigs, 18-wheelers, known all too well by motorists traveling our California highways and freeways, are the life-blood of our economy and interstate commerce. We hate being behind them on the roadway, yet cannot live without their distribution lifeline. When their drivers are negligent, however, or their maintenance is poor, catastrophic injuries usually result.
The National Highway & Transportation Safety Administration (NH&TSA) regulates the safety protocol for truck driver licensing and safety, and truckers are required by law to carry different limits of liability insurance than automobile drivers. This agency also requires mandatory maintenance logs and training for drivers that are often useful tools in determining liability for truck accidents or driver errors.
We at Pohlson & Moorhead, LLP have represented many victims of truck accidents over the past 30 years, and welcome inquiries regarding any type of commercial or private trucking accidents.
