Truck Accidents are on the Rise in the United States and California

Year after year, more trucks are on the road across the United States. This upsurge in trucks might account for the increase in truck crash fatalities, as estimated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). They projected that 5,610 deaths were caused by truck accidents in 2021. This is a 13% increase from 2020 and an even more shocking 52% increase from 2010.

California is consistently listed in the top three or four states with the highest truck accident fatalities. The rising trend of truck accidents and fatalities holds true for Glendale. Being a warm-weather state, California truck accidents often involve more than just motor vehicles. These other encounters include people using bicycles, scooters, skateboards, roller skates (blades) and pedestrians. With very limited protection, if any, these truck accidents prove to end with more serious injuries and death, nearly 70% in fact. That is twice as likely as a passenger in a car.

Who is Liable for a Truck Accident in Glendale?

If you were injured in a truck accident in Glendale, proving who caused your collision is the number one priority in establishing liability. This is oftentimes more easily said than done. The greatest success in the identification of the responsible party or parties is reliant on experience and a thorough investigation.

  • Witness statements

Our expert team will diligently investigate your case to find who is at fault and hold them responsible. In many cases, it is indeed the truck driver that caused the crash. However, other parties may also be held responsible. Most commonly held liable are the:

  • Truck driver: speeding, fatigued, distracted
