Truck Accident Lawyer in Ventura County
Semi-Trucks, Flatbed Trucks, & Commercial Vehicles
With trucking traffic increasing on major California Highways, accidents involving commercial trucks and 18 wheelers are on the rise. At the Law Offices of Robert P. Jennings, we have been helping seriously injured individuals as well as the families of those who have been injured or killed in these devastating accidents.
Like all motor vehicles, semi- trucks are sophisticated pieces of machinery that require regular maintenance in order to properly, and safely, operate. Before they even hit the road, trucks are supposed to be examined to ensure the functionality of all parts. Brakes, brake lights, trailer hitches, and the engine need to be in good working order for a truck to be safe while on the road.
There are many reasons that a truck or tractor trailer can cause an accident. The most common reasons are based on negligence, and negligence equates to compensation for affected parties in a court of law. If you have been in a truck accident, please don't hesitate to contact attorney Robert P. Jennings at our Ventura law office. We have the experience to get you the compensation you deserve to help cover the costs of medical bills, physical therapy fees, vehicle repair, and even lost and/or potential wages. Please call a truck accident attorney today for a free consultation at 805-981-3937.
Investigating a Truck Accident to Build a Strong Case
There are many reasons why a truck accident might occur. Some of the more common reasons include:
- Driver fatigue
- The driver is distracted
- It is difficult to see blind spots from a large truck
- The driver is following too close to stop in time
- The driver is rushing to meet a delivery deadline
- Engine or transmission mechanical failure and defective components
- Tire failure
- Brake failure
- Overloading of the truck
In some cases, the trucking companies can be held responsible for the dangers that trucks bring to the road. If a trucking company fails to inspect its truck, and sends that truck out on the road knowing the truck is not safe to other motorists, then that trucking company can be held liable for the damages and injuries that its truck causes while on the road.
