California Trucking Industry Facts

There are more than 25,300 trucking companies within the state of California, according to data provided by the California Trucking Association. California largely depends on trucking services, with more than 78% of the state's communities relying exclusively on trucks for the transport of their goods. California's trucking industry provided a total of 862,235 jobs in 2008, making up one of every 15 jobs in the state at the time, as noted by the trucking association. During that year, total wages paid in the trucking industry in California amounted to more than $50 billion.

In addition to having such a large trucking industry, the state of California also has many large metropolitan areas that include a great numbers of commuters. Busy roads add to the likelihood that accidents will occur. These types of accidents can, however, occur at any place and at any time, even on rural roads and highways. When truck accidents do occur, it is important for victims to seek strong legal counsel.

How We Can Help

Our firm is able to take on all types of truck accidents and injuries. Whether you suffered from a truck rollover, an underride accident or a jackknife accident, we are here to guide you through the claims or lawsuit process. Some of the truck accident injuries we come across include burns, amputations, internal injuries, brain injuries and many others. If we take on your case, you can count on us to carry out an extensive truck accident investigation so that we can determine the cause of your accident. Many times, we find that truck drivers and/or their employers violated trucking regulations that are set in place to keep the public safe. These might be regulations involving hours-of-service (or the number of hours drivers work during their shifts), truck inspections, truck maintenance or other areas.

Our firm has successfully helped clients secure millions of dollars in compensation, and we have received a great amount of industry recognition due to our top-tier legal services.
