Trucking Accident Lawyer – California & Colorado

If you have been injured in a trucking accident, it is important to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Collisions involving commercial trucks, semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and tractor-trailers are often far more complex than standard automobile accidents and can lead to devastating injuries and significant financial loss.

The Law Offices of Robert A. Garcin represents individuals and families in serious trucking accident cases throughout California and Colorado. Our firm works to investigate the crash, preserve key evidence, determine liability, and pursue full compensation for injured clients.

Trucking cases may involve multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, and insurance carriers. Early legal intervention is often critical.

Why Trucking Accident Cases Are Different

Truck accidents are not like ordinary car accidents. Commercial trucks can weigh many times more than passenger vehicles, and collisions often result in severe injuries, extensive property damage, and complicated insurance disputes.

In addition, trucking companies and their insurers frequently respond immediately after a serious crash. Their representatives may begin gathering evidence and building a defense before an injured victim has had a chance to understand the full extent of the damages.

Having experienced legal counsel involved early can make a significant difference in preserving evidence and protecting the value of your claim.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Trucking accidents may be caused by driver negligence, company negligence, mechanical failures, or violations of safety regulations. Determining the true cause of the crash is one of the most important parts of any trucking injury case.

Common causes include:

• Driver fatigue
• Distracted driving
• Speeding or reckless driving
• Improper lane changes
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
• Poor truck maintenance
• Brake or tire failure
• Drug or alcohol impairment
• Violations of federal trucking regulations

Serious Injuries in Commercial Truck Crashes

Because of the size and weight of commercial vehicles, trucking accidents often cause catastrophic injuries. Victims may require emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term medical care.

Common trucking accident injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal injuries
• Permanent disability
• Wrongful death

If you were injured because of a trucking company’s negligence or a truck driver’s carelessness, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
