Large Truck Litigation
Large truck accident litigation is very different from auto accident litigation, although many people assume it is the same or similar. In a private auto accident case there is typically only one defendant and one insurance carrier. In a large truck accident case, there can be several defendants, such as the truck driver, trucking company and trailer company, each with their own insurance carriers. Due to the many parties that can be involved in a lawsuit, it is recommended that California large truck accident victims hire a qualified personal injury attorney who is familiar with truck accident litigation. At Estey Bomberger, our legal team has extensive experience in analyzing truck accidents, determining the cause of the accident and discovering who is responsible for the truck accident. Our California large truck accident attorneys are skilled negotiators who are not afraid to stand up to aggressive insurance company representatives. We consult with experts in numerous fields to help in investigating and evaluating the true value of a truck accident claim. Experts in medicine, life care planning, vocation, and trucking regulation are just a few of the experts we work with on a regular basis.

California Large Truck Litigation and FMCSA Regulations
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets and regulates safety standards within the trucking industry that apply to various areas of operation. Commercial truck drivers have special training and licensing requirements, and are required to keep detailed records of hours worked, time spent sleeping and time spent taking breaks. Trucking companies must ensure that they are meeting safety requirements regarding truck inspection, maintenance, repair, and cargo loading. Deciphering FMCSA regulations can be overwhelming for a lawyer that has little to no experience handling truck accident litigation. Our California personal injury lawyers have represented many large truck accident victims throughout the state and are well versed in the rules and regulations set by the FMCSA.
