CALIFORNIA TRUCK CRASHES: WHO IS TO BLAME? CALL CA BIG RIG ACCIDENT LAWYERS NOW.
A new report by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) states that most truck-related crashes in California are the fault of passenger vehicles, such as cars, SUV’s, vans or buses. According to the report, there were more than 7,200 California accidents involving big rigs in 2008, and over 50% were caused by unsafe maneuvers by passenger vehicle drivers. Still, there are plenty of reports of tractor-trailer accidents in which the big rig was reportedly speeding or disobeying other traffic laws. For those who are not killed upon impact, one of the most common injuries suffered in a truck on car collision is brain or spinal damage.

A big rig crashed through a center divide on the Riverside Freeway in Corona, hitting two cars, a Honda Accord and a Toyota Corolla. Thankfully, the car victims suffered moderate injuries. Suddenly slowing traffic apparently caused the truck to veer into the concrete center of the road. In Illinois a $24 million settlement has been reached in a suit against a trucking company and other entities for a big rig accident that killed two people and seriously injured another. The driver, the freight broker and the trucking company were all named in the suit.
