At The Law Offices of Steven Mehr, we help people in the Southern California area and throughout California who have been injured in semi truck accidents and car accidents. Our experienced personal injury lawyers know the emotional and financial trauma caused by truck accidents. Car passengers bear the brunt of the impact in a car vs. truck collision and they often suffer serious injury or are killed in the accident.
Our award-winning personal injury trial lawyers are experienced in handling California truck accident cases, especially those occurring on Highways 1,101,405,91 and Interstate 80 and 280.
Approximately 170,000 individuals are injured in trucking accidents each year. * An average of 5000 trucks per year are involved in fatal traffic accidents. California is consistently one of the top three states for fatal truck accidents.
Because trucking accidents (including semi-trucks, tractor-trailer, bus, van, dump truck, garbage and fire trucks, etc.) are so prevalent in California, we are providing this information about the types of truck accidents including what you can do to avoid an accident with a truck, and what to do if you are involved in a trucking accident.
