Sacramento Semit Truck Accident Lawyers, Northern California Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Sacramento Auto Accidents
Auto accidents are a leading cause of injury and death in all age groups. Approximately 6,000,000 auto accidents occur each year with 40,000 fatalities. The U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that nearly 43,000 people died in car accidents in 2002, an increase of 15% from the previous year. Although the number of traffic-related injures has declined from 3.03 million to 2.92 million, the number of fatalities due to drunk driving has steadily increased. Alcohol is involved in 40% of fatal accidents, and speeding is involved in 29% of all vehicle accident fatalities.
Sacramento Truck Big Rig Injury Accidents
Truck/Big Rig and bus accidents often involve major injury. There are rules and regulations that owners and operators are required to comply with under the law regarding trip logs, maintenance and inspections, medical certificates, random drug testing, and driving record and qualifications. There are often complicated liability and insurance issues as between the owner of the truck, the owner of the trailer, the shipper and the freight broker. Adams & Corzine has not only represented injured parties in these types of accidents, but has also defended operators and owners of trucks and busses, providing solutions for their immediate legal defense needs in the transportation area. Representation of these transportation service providers includes the implementation and coordination of immediate response teams in catastrophic accidents, and of course litigation through trial.
Sacramento Motorcycle Accidents
For the past five years motorcycle fatalities have steadily increased, and deaths of motorcyclists age 50 and over have climbed by 26%. Visibility problems and roadway design often contribute to the accident. Adams & Corzine have handled dozens of motorcycle injury and death cases.
A bicyclist riding a bike is not considered a pedestrian, and must obey the special rules found in the Vehicle Code. Comparative fault issues are often present, and in the case of a child issues of negligent supervision by a parent or guardian. Our experience in these types of cases gives you a major advantage during litigation.
