The cause of a bad-weather truck accident is rarely the weather itself; it is also how the truck driver responded to it. Conditions of rain, ice, snow, or strong winds can cause a variety of issues that make driving a truck more dangerous, including the following:
Truck drivers in Stockton can be at fault for an accident during bad weather if they failed to properly adjust their driving to the conditions. For example, a truck driver may have needed to lower their speed, add chains to the tires, rearrange the truck’s cargo, or take an alternate route. In some weather conditions, the most reasonable choice for a truck driver may be to stop driving altogether. Your first step after a truck accident should be to contact first responders who can document the collision and coordinate emergency medical care. Our lawyers can use information from an accident report to further evaluate a truck driver’s fault and pursue compensation.
