Oakland Truck Accident Attorney

Truck Accidents in Oakland

Oakland is a hub city with large amounts of goods moving both in and out of the area in large commercial trucks. There are also thousands of delivery trucks, couriers, work trucks and service vehicles of all types on the streets and highways, both day and night. Most drivers of passenger cars are aware of the danger with large commercial trucks and try to avoid driving close to them. However, it is not always possible, and in some cases, the truck driver causes a serious injury accident. These accidents have severe consequences for the drivers of passenger cars, as the weight and size of a commercial truck often sends the passenger car into other lanes of traffic, causes a rollover, or crushes the smaller vehicle. If you or a loved one has been injured in a commercial truck accident, it is critical that you get skilled legal representation from an Oakland truck accident attorney as soon after the accident as possible.

After serious accidents, some responsible drivers have been discovered to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is well established that in some cases the drivers are fatigued as they try to deliver their cargo quickly in the hopes of making more money at the job. This lack of sleep or intoxication has been found to be the cause in some deadly truck accidents.
