Truck accidents are common due to the size of these vehicles. However, cases involving speeding are usually considered more dangerous because it can be hard for other motorists to avoid a collision or there could be severe injuries and fatalities as a result of the crash.
DUI accidents in California could have serious legal consequences because the state is known for its stringent laws. Thus, it’s important to gather as much information as possible after a collision so that victims are aware of their rights and what steps they should take in order to seek compensation for damages.
