Deadly, Destructive Oxnard Truck Accidents

You’d be mistaken to think that truck accidents aren’t a major problem in Oxnard simply because they happen less often than other traffic incidents. What Oxnard truck crashes lack in frequency, they more than makeup for in destructiveness.

According to data published by the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) at Cal Berkeley, 19 truck crashes in Oxnard resulted in bodily injury in Oxnard in a recent year. Of the 21 injured victims of those accidents, most were drivers of vehicles that collided with trucks. This is a common trait of truck crashes—because of the huge differential in size and weight between cars and trucks, it’s usually the occupants of the smaller vehicle that suffer the greatest trauma. Common truck accident injuries we handle at Kash Legal include:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Crushed injuries
• Loss of limbs or appendages
• Internal injuries
• Nerve damage
• Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
• Burns

Any of the injuries above can cause permanent disability or impairment, and most also pose the risk of a tragic loss of life. Truck crashes in Oxnard also commonly cause extensive physical damage, not just to passenger vehicles but also to the truck itself and roadside properties. And a truck accident can easily trigger secondary crashes that inflict their own trauma and devastation.

Oxnard Truck Accident Victims’ Rights and Challenges

Under California law, victims of truck accidents in Oxnard broadly have the right to demand compensation from anyone whose dangerous decisions or actions led to the crash. Those at-fault parties (and their liability insurance carriers) typically must pay damages to victims to cover:

• Medical expenses in treating truck crash injuries
• Property damage and other out-of-pocket expenses victims incur
• Past and future loss of income and benefits, when injuries keep victims out of work
• Physical pain and emotional suffering
• Inconvenience and life disruption
• Loss of enjoyment of activities and relationships

In some instances, at-fault parties in Oxnard truck crashes must also pay additional, punitive damages as punishment for their brazen or malicious misconduct. Kash Legal works to maximize all damages our clients can claim in truck accident cases.

Still, obtaining money damages in an Oxnard truck accident case is not necessarily straightforward. Truck crashes tend to cause not just widespread physical destruction, but also significant factual and legal complications to boot. Multiple victims may suffer harm in an Oxnard truck accident. And, because trucks are commercial vehicles, numerous individuals and businesses may face potential liability for damages.
