Who Is Eligible to File an SF Truck Accident Claim?

The large size of these trucks increases the risk of serious injury or death. Whether the other vehicle is another large truck or passenger car hardly matters—when two vehicles collide and at least one of them weighs up to 80,000 pounds, the outcome can be grim. As such, truck drivers, trucking companies, and truck manufacturers must follow strict rules and regulations designed to ensure the safety of others on the road. When they fail to follow these guidelines, they may be considered negligent and therefore responsible for any ensuing injuries.

Common causes of San Francisco truck accidents include:

• Speeding
