Northern California Truck Accident Attorney

Hayward - Fremont - Pleasanton

When driver fatigue or negligence causes a trucking accident, it is almost always the occupant of a nearby passenger vehicle who suffers. If you've been injured or a loved one has died in a truck accident, contact a personal injury lawyers at Bonjour, Thorman, Baray & Billingsley immediately.

Important evidence needed to prove your case can disappear as the trucking company covers its tracks. Witnesses forget details as time goes by. We will get our team of accident investigators on the scene right away to interview witnesses and protect the evidence needed for financial recovery.

Experienced and Skilled Trial Lawyers

Attorneys Jules Bonjour and Michael Thorman are Northern California Super Lawyers in personal injury. All of our attorneys have more than 10 years of experience representing people who have suffered catastrophic head injuries, spine injuries, or burn injuries.

We have handled many truck accident cases that occur on Highway 580 through Pleasanton. In one case, we achieved a settlement of more than $1 million for a family in which the father was injured and daughter was killed when a milk tanker crashed into his small truck. The truck driver, who had been driving for 12 hours and using drugs to stay awake, had fallen asleep behind the wheel, causing the fatal crash.

Proving Negligence in Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often involve some type of truck driver or trucking company negligence, including driver fatigue. Under both California and federal law, truck drivers can only drive so many hours without a rest break. However truck drivers routinely violate these laws.

The trucking company itself may be negligent if it hires a driver with a poor driving record, fails to test for drugs, or does not keep its trucks or trailers in good working condition.

Our investigators will obtain the driver logbook, tractor trailer maintenance records, driver history, truck GPS records, and other evidence. We may hire an accident reconstructionist to review the scene of the truck underride accident or interstate rollover.

Obtaining Maximum Financial Recovery

Serious spinal cord injuries will be present immediately, but head and brain injuries can take time for the full effects to become clear. We work with medical experts to present a strong case for maximum financial recovery.
