Truckers and trucking companies are required to follow federal and state trucking laws. These laws pertain to items such as hours of service, weight limits and adequate driver background checks. The laws are designed to keep truckers and their trucks safe. They are also designed to keep other motorists out of harm's way.
Despite comprehensive federal and state trucking regulations, negligent truckers and trucking companies put innocent motorists at risk on a daily basis. The skilled Santa Ana truck driver negligence attorneys at Berman More Gonzalez are knowledgeable about the many ways in which truck safety is overlooked and ignored.
At the California law firm of Berman More Gonzalez, we provide dedicated legal assistance to truck accident victims. We work with trucking industry experts and launch a full investigation into the cause of the accident. When we can identify the cause of the truck accident, we can then hold the negligent party or parties accountable for their actions.
