MOVING TRUCK ACCIDENTS INJURE PASSENGERS IN OAKLAND, CA
Large truck accidents may occur because of the load in the truck, an unbalanced center of gravity, or may be caused by an inexperienced driver. There are different types of trucks, ranging from eighteen wheel big rigs to personally rented and driven moving trucks. In these accidents, there may be more liability than just the driver. The liability could extend to the owner of the truck, the owner of the load in the truck and the driver’s employer.
