Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Sacramento

Truck drivers have a challenging job. They are required to drive for long hours on very little sleep and meet strict delivery deadlines. Though these factors may certainly play a role, truck accidents are not always the fault of the driver, so it is important to look at the accident from all angles to determine the true cause. Some of the common factors that may contribute to a truck accident include the following:

Drowsy driving
Lack of visibility, usually caused by large blind spots
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Speeding
Cell phone use or other forms of distracted driving
Failure to maintain the truck, resulting in mechanical issues
Failure to brake in time
Faulty parts that the truck driver was unaware of

Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Sacramento Truck Accidents

The state of California implements a statute of limitations for most legal matters. The statute of limitations acts as a deadline by which a victim must file their case. For personal injury cases in California, legal action must be taken no later than two years from the date of the accident. If you fail to file your case within this time, you may lose the opportunity to recover damages and your pursuit of justice will come to an end. Do not hesitate to contact The Law Offices of Dale R.
