Truck Accidents

San Francisco Bay Area Trucking Accident Attorneys

The San Francisco Bay Area has an abundance of trucking activity, including local deliveries, north-south cargo load movement and out-of-town trucks bringing and picking up loads of internationally traded containerized goods. When trucks are part of the equation in freeway accidents, injuries are often very serious.

If you have been injured, or if a family member has died in a truck accident in the San Francisco Bay Area, contact Galine, Frye & Fitting to schedule a free initial consultation.

Please bring a copy of any police report about your semi accident to your first meeting. Once we determine that you have a strong case, we will file a lawsuit immediately¾if that is the course you choose. We will then proceed with an aggressive, in-depth investigation into the causes of the accident and the nature of the injuries.

Investigation Reveals Causes and Contributing Factors

In many cases, contributing factors in a crash involving an 18 wheeler include one or more of the following:

• Improperly secured cargo
• Oversized loads
• Brake failure
• Drowsy driving on the part of the over-the-road truck driver

As we look into these as possible causes of your collision, we will also examine whether any other circumstances may contribute to a strong case. Was hazardous material transportation carried out under permit violations? How many hours had the truck driver been on the road? Had he exceeded the number of driving hours permitted by law?
