Anaheim Truck Accident Lawyer With 26+ Years Experience

When You’ve Been Involved in a Serious Truck Accident, You Need a Serious Lawyer.

Anaheim is a traffic and trucking hub for Southern California due to it’s central location connecting Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. Big rig accidents like this one on State College Blvd. are not rare, and if you live locally you already know that trucking traffic is a serious problem locally.

Consequently, many semis get around traffic by getting off the freeway and driving through city streets, which usually creates more traffic. Due to the magnitude of a trailer truck, accidents involving 18 wheelers can result in serious accidents causing catastrophic injuries or death.

The Paris Firm has handled truck accident cases in Anaheim and throughout Southern California. Attorney Eric Paris has been representing people injured in motor vehicle accidents for over two decades. Anaheim is only about 20 minutes from The Paris Firm in Chino Hills, and our Anaheim injury attorneys have handled numerous cases in Orange County. Like all law firms, after our initial consultation at our office or your home or hospital, most of our communication can be done via phone and Email – but we never really leave your side.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Accidents involving trucks can happen for countless reasons but the most common causes include:

Driver fatigue
Violation of hours of service regulations
Improper maintenance
Lack of reflective materials
Improper signage
Lack of underride guards
Improperly designed, constructed, or maintained roads
Lack of roadway hardware, such as guardrails
Improper loading
Speeding, failure to yield, tailgating
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Unfortunately, truckers involved in an accident may not be violating safety regulations for the first time. Sometimes they have a record of poor driving behavior which the trucking company may already be aware of and possibly even encourage dangerous behaviors to ensure timely deliveries. Trucking companies and drivers are sometimes incentivized with bonuses for early or on-time delivery, and they have been known to engage in risky tactics to meet a deadline.

Our Anaheim truck accident attorneys represents clients injured in incidents involving all types of commercial vehicles, including:

Delivery vans, such as UPS and Fed Ex vans
City & Municipal Trucks
Public Utility Vehicles

Emergency vehicles

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to a truck accident in Anaheim, you already know how serious a truck accident can be. You may have already dealt with the trucking company’s insurance company and now realize how tough it is to get them to negotiate, which may try to blame you (or your lost loved one) for the accident.
