Tractor-Trailer Accidents in Elk Grove
Tractor-trailers and other oversized commercial vehicles cause a lot of accidents across the state of California every single day. Due to the sheer size of these trucks, most of them weighing 30 times as much as a passenger car, an accident involving one could easily produce disastrous, life-altering consequences.
The driver and passengers of the car will almost always experience a far worse outcome to a crash than the truck driver. These commercial trucks are also very difficult to maneuver. Truckers are obligated to demonstrate a reasonable duty of care to obey the rules of the road and to not harm others while they are in operation.
