Count On Our Team to Protect Your Interests
Modesto Truck Accident Lawyer
Highway 99, Highway 5 and Highway 155 crisscrossing the Central Valley carry thousands of trucks every day, delivering products, materials and equipment to communities throughout Northern California. The large 18-wheeler semi-tractor trailers are a vital part of our economy and are part of our daily traffic patterns.
Because of the massive size and weight of these large trucks, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates virtually every aspect of their activities, from maintenance requirements to management policies to driver training and behavior behind the wheel.

In a typical year in California, more than 3,500 people are injured or killed in crashes involving large commercial trucks. Many of the accidents are the result of truck drivers pushing the limits of their endurance and skills, as they work to meet tight deadlines imposed upon them by their employers.

Truck Accident Attorney in Modesto
Truck accident injury and wrongful death cases generally turn on the physical evidence at the scene.
