San Bernardino Truck Accident Attorney

There are more truck accidents in California than most other states.  Because a truck is so much larger than a car, injuries from truck accidents are usually much more serious and catastrophic than collisions involving two automobiles. Because truck drivers are operating a vehicle that is maintained by their employer, and possibly loaded by a third party shipping company, there may be more than one party responsible for a California big rig truck accident. Trucking companies and drivers are also subject to regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which is focused on reducing crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.

If you have suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one as a result of a truck accident in San Bernardino caused by another party’s negligence, an attorney at the San Bernardino truck accident law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP may be able to help you recover significant monetary compensation. You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, rehabilitation, past and future lost wages, and pain and suffering.

  • A blown tire
  • Aggressive driving
  • An overloaded truck
  • An oversized truck
  • Driving under influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Failure to yield to other party's right of way
  • Falling Debris
  • Fatigued driver
  • Illegal lane change
  • Improper vehicle maintenance

  • Reckless driving
  • Speeding
  • Tailgating
  • Unsafe driving in poor weather conditions
  • Unsafe passing

Truck Accident Injuries

Most of the serious life-threatening and catastrophic injuries that result from truck accidents affect automobile drivers and passengers, not the truck driver.  Truck drivers are more protected than automobile drivers because of the sheer size of a big rig truck or tractor trailer compared to a car.  Truck accident injuries may include:
