Truck Accidents

Orange County Truck Accident Attorney

Accidents with Commercial Motor Vehicles

When a truck hits a smaller vehicle, the ensuing damage can be catastrophic and even fatal. Trucks ranging from small pick-ups to large 18-wheelers/semi-trucks can inflict massive damage on passenger vehicles or motorcycles when they are involved in a collision. Because trucks weigh so much more than lighter and smaller cars, they can virtually destroy the vehicle with which they are involved in a crash. Truck drivers are held to very strict state and federal standards that they must uphold. If a truck driver fails to follow these laws or is somehow otherwise negligent and it results in an accident, you could be eligible to recover compensation for the financial and non-financial losses brought upon by the collision.

Large trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when they are fully loaded. A passenger vehicle weighs merely a fraction of that huge number. That is one reason why truck drivers must be so vigilant when sharing the road. If they fail in their alertness and adhesion to the law, it can result in a terrible accident that could even be fatal. The Orange County personal injury attorneys at The Law Office of Bruce C. Bridgman have dealt with countless truck accident cases in California. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligent behavior of a truck driver, they can offer you the experienced assistance that you need.
