Truck Accident in Granada Hills

Our Granada Hills truck accident injury lawyers and law office provide forceful and caring legal counsel for anyone injured in a truck accident, including vans and log carriers, and for the families of those killed in truck crashes and other serious accidents for wrongful death claims in Granada Hills, a community with a population of 50,535 in the San Fernando Valley within the city of Los Angeles in Los Angeles County, California. Granada Hills is neighbored by Northridge to the south, Chatsworth to the west, Sylmar to the northeast and Pacoima to the east. Granada Hills is known for being San Fernando Valley's location for the first oil well drilled in 1916. Granada Hills was founded in 1926, starting out as a dairy farm and orchard called the Sunshine Ranch that produced apricots, oranges, walnuts and beans. The trees at White Oak Avenue in Granada Hills have become a historic landmark and were used for the film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial with the popular scene of the flying bicycles. A famous resident of Granada Hills included Ashley Judd, who was born in Granada Hills.

Granada Hills truck accident injury victims can suffer from minor or severe injuries that sometimes result in wrongful death claims. Truck drivers must take measures to avert potential truck collisions, such as receiving adequate sleep before getting on the road and having rigorous training to become accustomed to how their trucks work. Truck drivers must also be in a calm state of mind so that they can make the best decisions during their drive and use their best judgments to reduce the chances of an accident from occurring. Several causes of a truck crash are:

• Truck or car driver being intoxicated from drinking alcohol
• Poor visibility from heavy snowfall
• Truck's brakes malfunction, preventing the driver from decelerating when necessary

Many dangerous accidents that lead to fatal injuries happen at night and part of the reason is because there is lower vision in the dark. A vehicle's headlights are very important in helping drivers see their route, especially in roads lacking lights, because the headlights alert another driver on a smaller road of oncoming traffic and allow others on the road to recognize nearby vehicles. Therefore, it is a necessity to have your headlights working properly and to have them be bright. Over time, the headlights become yellow and lose their brightness, which can be very risky by making it more difficult for others to see your vehicle and this increases the possibility of collisions. Once you notice your vehicle's headlights are not as bright or do not show much of the road, you can either manually wash the lights with soap and use products from the stores or have a local body shop mask and spray the headlights with a plastic adhesion promoter.

Victims of truck accidents are often left with fatal injuries. One such injury is a hip fracture. High-energy trauma vehicle collisions are often the culprit for hip fracture injuries. A hip fracture can alter a person's life by requiring surgery with months of physical therapy to follow. Please contact us now, if you or a loved one suffered a hip fracture from any truck accident or other personal injury accident in Granada Hills, Los Angeles or anywhere in California, including for referrals to doctors who may provide treatment without asking for a fee until the claim is resolved.
