Accidents with Tanker Trucks
Tanker trucks are everywhere on the roads in California. These trucks, which deliver water, fuel, and other liquid cargo to all different types of businesses, serve an essential function in our economy. Still, they can also be extremely dangerous for other motorists. The dangers associated with tanker trucks relate to issues with the trucks themselves and the drivers’ ability to operate these trucks safely. If a driver lacks experience, has spent too many hours driving, or simply makes a mistake behind the wheel, the consequences can be devastating for other motorists in the truck’s vicinity. After a such a serious accident, victims should consult with a truck accident attorney to discuss their legal options.
If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a tanker truck accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Just as many factors can lead to these dangerous accidents, there are also many grounds on which accident victims and families can seek to recover compensation for their losses. For example, some of the most common factors involved in tanker truck accidents include:
