Truck Accidents in California
Being involved in any type of vehicle accident can have an overwhelming impact on a person’s life. The severity of injuries, damages, and consequences are greatly increased for victims who are injured in collisions with semi-trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles.

In fact, these accidents send thousands of victims to local hospitals where they have to undergo emergency surgery and spend months off work to recover.
