California’s highways and rural roads see numerous devastating truck collisions every year, many of which result in catastrophic injuries and life-altering consequences for victims and their families. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident in Auburn, you need an aggressive and experienced legal advocate. The Law Office of Brian P. Azemika is a leading personal injury firm committed to helping truck accident victims secure the maximum compensation they deserve. 

Why Truck Accidents Are Different from Car Accidents 

Truck collisions involve complex legal, technical, and regulatory factors that go far beyond ordinary car accidents: 

• Severity of Injuries: Commercial trucks can weigh 20–30 times more than passenger vehicles, often causing severe or fatal injuries. 
• Multiple Liable Parties: Responsibility may fall on the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance crews, or even the truck manufacturer. 
• Federal Safety Regulations: The trucking industry is heavily regulated by federal law. Violations involving driver fatigue, maintenance lapses, or overloaded trailers can strengthen your claim. 
• Crucial Electronic Evidence: Most trucks are equipped with electronic logging devices (ELDs) or “black boxes” that track driver activity, speed, and braking—key evidence for your case. 

At the Law Office of Brian P. Azemika, we thoroughly investigate trucking accidents and utilize all available data to build a compelling case.

 

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Auburn 

With its access to regional highways and industrial areas, Auburn experiences substantial truck traffic. Some of the most frequent causes of truck accidents in the area include: 

• Driver Fatigue: Despite federal regulations limiting driving hours, some truckers exceed the legal limit, resulting in drowsy or impaired driving. 
• Improper Loading or Overweight Cargo: Poorly balanced or overloaded trailers can lead to rollovers or jackknife accidents. 
• Inadequate Maintenance: Worn tires, faulty brakes, or mechanical failures often go unchecked. 
• Distracted or Reckless Driving: Speeding, texting, or aggressive lane changes by truckers put everyone on the road at risk. 
• Unqualified Drivers: Some companies neglect proper screening and training, putting dangerous drivers behind the wheel. 

If negligence played a role in your crash, the Law Office of Brian P. Azemika will hold every responsible party accountable. 

Federal Trucking Laws in California

In California, trucking accidents are governed by a combination of federal and state regulations designed to promote road safety and accountability. Federal laws, enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), establish standards for driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, and hours of service. Meanwhile, California state laws add further oversight through requirements such as vehicle inspections, weight limitations, and insurance minimums. When a truck accident occurs, determining liability often involves multiple parties (including drivers, trucking companies, and maintenance providers) making the legal process complex and challenging.
