Truck Accidents

California Trial Attorneys: Truck Accidents

Many people who have been hurt or who have had loved ones killed by truckers hear the same thing: that it was impossible to stop in time. But this is not always true. As experienced trial lawyers, we know that this excuse is often used to cover up driver negligence. At the California Law Offices of Thomas T. Anderson, P.C., we bring this negligence to light by taking effective legal action against interstate or intrastate motor carriers on behalf of our clients.

Diligent Preparation for the Trial of Your Truck Accident Claim

Success in a truck accident lawsuit depends on diligent preparation. At The Law Offices of Thomas T. Anderson, P.C., we prepare every case as though it is going to trial, even though many cases do settle. We work with accident reconstructionists, trucking industry experts and doctors. Our own in-house investigator also conducts detailed fact finding, examining log books and other records as well as talking with any witnesses.

Knowing that specific technical rules apply to intrastate transport of goods, we consider many factors when holding truckers accountable for the truck accidents which they cause, such as:

• Was the driver licensed to operate that type of vehicle on the roadway?
• Did the driver have the right type of training through the FHSA?
• Has the driver been operating for a longer period of time than the legal limit?
• Was the vehicle maintained properly?
• Were there mechanical defects in the truck?
• Were the appropriate safety mechanisms operating at the time of the truck accident?

In addition to these questions, truck accident lawsuits are often made more complex by the fact that an 18-wheeler crash that occurs in one state may involve a truck that is owned and operated by a company in another state. Investigations that span multiple states can be expensive to bring, but The Law Offices of Thomas T. Anderson, P.C. has the resources to thoroughly investigate and prepare our cases for trial.
