Truck drivers are under tremendous pressure to deliver their products on time. Strict federal regulations regarding the number of hours they can drive without sleep, meals or breaks means that lost time must be made up behind the wheel. Speeding, unsafe lane changes in heavy traffic and other acts of reckless driving are common.
There are more than 3,500 injuries and deaths on California roads every year in accidents involving large commercial trucks. The accidents are often the cause of truck driver negligence and misconduct behind the wheel, including speeding. If you or a loved one suffered an injury in a truck accident, talk to an attorney on the California truck accident litigation team at Arata, Swingle, Sodhi & Van Egmond. Every commercial truck is required to carry a 'black box' to record engine data, including the speed the truck was traveling at the time of the accident. Even if the truck driver was not ticketed for speeding or reckless driving at the scene, engine data may be evidence in your favor in a civil suit for damages.
