Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents result from a multitude of factors, each contributing to the detailed landscape of road safety challenges. One of the primary causes is driver error, which encompasses actions such as distracted driving, fatigue, and misjudgment of road conditions. These mistakes can have catastrophic consequences.
Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Distracted driving, which can be caused by texting, eating, or talking while driving
- Fatigue, which can be caused by driving for extended periods without rest
- Misjudgment of road conditions, which can be caused by driving too fast for the conditions or failing to adjust to changes in the road
- Improperly loaded cargo, which can cause the truck to tip over or lose control
- Vehicle maintenance issues, such as faulty brakes or tires
We understand that dealing with the aftermath of a truck accident can be overwhelming, and we are here to help you through the process of seeking compensation for your injuries.
Our team of experienced Fontana truck accident attorneys is dedicated to fighting for your rights and ensuring that you receive the justice you deserve.
Fault and Liability in Truck Accidents
Determining fault involves a thorough examination of evidence, including police reports, eyewitness accounts, and vehicle damage. This process is essential in identifying who is responsible for the accident and, subsequently, who is liable for any damages or injuries.
However, this process can be complicated, as multiple parties might share fault. For instance, the truck driver, the trucking company, and even the manufacturer of the vehicle or its parts may all bear some responsibility.
In such cases, it’s essential to have someone on your side who can deal with the insurers and get you the compensation you’re owed. The silver lining is that it’s easier to get more compensation when there are multiple parties involved.

Compensation for Damages
To determine the full extent of your compensation, we conduct a thorough damages assessment, evaluating both tangible and intangible losses. This includes:
- Economic damages: These are tangible losses that can be calculated and quantified, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
- Non–economic damages: These are intangible losses that are more difficult to quantify, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive damages: In some cases, you may be eligible for punitive damages, which are designed to punish the at-fault party for particularly egregious behavior.
Determining the value of your truck accident claim involves a careful analysis of various factors. Our Fontana truck accident attorneys will work with you to gather all necessary information and documentation to support your claim.
