Commercial Truck Accident Lawyer in Roseville, CA

Serving all of Northern California

Accidents involving commercial trucks (a.k.a. semis, big rigs, and 18-wheelers) are often far more traumatic than car accidents between personal vehicles. The weight of a commercial truck is typically between 20 and 30 times more than a passenger car. When a car is hit by a truck of this size, the car will likely suffer the brunt of the damages.


Aside from the increased potential for injury, seeking compensation from commercial truck accidents is complicated. There are potentially several players involved:

the truck driver

the trucking company

the insurance companies

a third-party leasing company

mechanics who serviced the truck

the truck or parts manufacturer

It takes an experienced truck accident attorney to properly establish fault.

Who is Liable in a Commercial Truck Accident?

In some cases where the accident was caused purely through defective equipment that was not the result of improper maintenance, the responsibility lies primarily with the manufacturer of the parts. However, it is far more often the case that the accident was caused by negligence, either on the part of the driver, the trucking company, the crew who loaded the freight, or the mechanics who inspected the equipment. All potential defendants must be named in the lawsuit in order to seek the fairest compensation.


An experienced attorney will often establish negligence by the trucking company – which typically has more resources than an individual – even if it is through the premise of vicarious liability. Here is what one of our commercial truck accident clients had to say:



…my attorneys were able to force the insurance lawyer to pay the policy limit, which was $1,000,000.00. I am so thankful I hired Frank Penney and will forever be grateful I called his office to help me. – Robert C.

Why Commercial Trucks are So Dangerous

Such a large piece of equipment as a semi must be handled with extreme caution. Among the top five causes of truck accidents are:

  • brake problems
  • driving too fast for conditions
  • driver distraction on unfamiliar roadways
  • hazardous road conditions like potholes or ice
  • use of over-the-counter drugs

Add to this the fact that drivers are encouraged to drive long hours and therefore become exhausted, and that large trucks have many blind spots and a high center of gravity which makes them more likely to roll. It is best to be extremely careful when sharing the road to avoid commercial truck accidents.

Victims of Truck Accidents Have Options

If you or a loved one has been in a truck crash that was not your fault, you have probably coped with more than your fair share of trauma already. One silver lining is that commercial truck insurance policy limits are quite high, as mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
