Why Are Truck Accidents So Common In Marin County?
Marin’s highways, like U.S. 101 and State Route 1, see heavy truck traffic, which increases the risk of serious accidents. According to the recent California crash data:
- Over 4,000 large truck crashes occurred in the state in a single year
- A significant number of these involved serious injuries or fatalities
- Marin County reports truck-related crashes every month
Some of the most common causes of these crashes include:
- Driver fatigue or violating federal hours-of-service rules
- Distracted driving, like texting or using GPS
- Improperly loaded or unsecured cargo
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Dangerous weather or poorly marked road work
Even when the facts seem straightforward, it takes a knowledgeable lawyer to prove fault and build a solid case.
What Kinds Of Truck Accidents And Injuries Do We Handle?
Some of the crash types we see include:
- Rear-end and head-on collisions
- Sideswipes and rollovers
- Jackknife crashes
These injuries from truck accidents can be life-altering:
- Spinal cord damage
- Head trauma and brain injury
- Broken bones and long-term pain
You may also be entitled to damages for pain, emotional distress and vehicle repairs. Let us help you calculate the full value of your claim.
Proving Negligence And Building A Strong Case
Liability can fall on several parties:
- The truck driver for careless or reckless behavior
- The trucking company, for lack of training or safety oversight
- Manufacturers of defective parts
- Government agencies for poorly maintained roads
Strong evidence is key. Our firm acts fast to gather:
- Police reports and crash scene analysis
- Witness interviews
- Onboard data (black box) and GPS logs
- Truck inspection and maintenance records
No two cases are the same. That is why every case we take on starts with a detailed strategy to pursue justice.
Why You Should Never Face A Truck Accident Case Alone
After a crash, trucking companies often act quickly to protect themselves by limiting their liability and reducing your payout. You need someone fighting for you. Our experienced truck accident attorney can:
- Investigate the crash and preserve critical evidence
- Hold multiple parties accountable, including the driver, the trucking company or even a vehicle manufacturer
- Demand full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses
These cases are high-stakes, and we never settle for less than what our clients deserve.
