Trucking accident cases can be very complicated cases and they require the
use of experts in trucking operations, from the administration in the
company, all the way down to maintenance of the trucks, and to making sure
that the trucks are rolling down the highway, as they should be.
Also trucking accident cases involve typically very serious injuries,
whether its brain damage, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, sometimes
wrongful death, and those kinds of injuries require the use of very
experienced experts, who can talk about those sorts of things.
That's why it's important to hire somebody who really has a lot of
experience doing trucking accidents. In a trucking accident case, many
times we look at the potential defendant, as being of course the driver and
the driver's typically employed by a company that owns the truck, and then
oftentimes they are hired by companies that are shipping whatever goods
they are shipping.
So all of those people can be potentially involved in the case, and as well
as the people who maintain the truck. Oftentimes trucking accidents occur
because the brakes haven't been maintained properly, or the tires haven't
been maintained properly. Typically, the statute of limitations that would
apply in a trucking accident case would be the same as a personal injury
case, here in California that would be two years from the date of the
accident.
