Fatal Truck Accidents in California

Losing a loved one in a fatal truck accident is an incredibly devastating experience that leaves families to deal not only with emotional and mental anguish but also with the financial struggles that come along with it. However, after losing a loved one, it is important to understand that families have the opportunity to seek justice and relief by filing a wrongful death claim.

The process of determining liability following a fatal truck accident in California can be incredibly complex due to the fact that it can involve multiple parties who may be held responsible for the loss of your beloved family member's life. In most cases, liability in a fatal truck accident often falls upon one or more of the following entities:

• The Truck Operator: The individual driving the truck at the time of the accident may bear responsibility if their actions or negligence contributed to the collision.
• The Truck Owner: If the truck involved in the accident was owned by a separate entity or company, they may be held liable for negligence in areas such as maintenance, repairs, or hiring qualified drivers.
• The Vehicle or Parts Manufacturer: If a defect in the truck's design, manufacturing, or parts contributed to the accident, the manufacturer or distributor may be held accountable for the loss of life.
