Protecting the Rights of Truck Accident Victims
Major highways crisscross the Sacramento area. The high volume of 18-wheelers on I-5, I-80, and California 15, 50, 99 and 193 puts drivers of smaller vehicles at risk.

Physically Damaging, Legally Complicated
Truck accidents result in serious injuries and fatalities because of the size and momentum of semis and other large trucks. Truck accidents can be legally complicated as well as physically damaging. There are many potential sources of legal responsibility, including the driver, the owner of the tractor, the owner of the trailer, the warehouse that loaded the truck, and the shop that maintained it.
Truck accidents are just part of doing business for trucking companies and their insurance companies. They deploy teams of investigators to an accident scene anywhere in the country within hours of the crash to gather evidence and data.
Don't Delay
If you have been involved in a truck accident it is important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible. Ms. Ferris will move quickly to obtain important data from the accident scene and, in some cases, hire an accident reconstructionist to determine how the accident occurred.
She will determine whether the trucking company investigated the driver's record, whether driver fatigue contributed to the crash, and whether the truck and driver were in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations at the time of the accident.
Early in her career, Ms. Ferris represented insurance companies in truck accident litigation. This experience gives her valuable insight that benefits truck accident victims. She recently recovered $700,000 for a young woman injured in a multi car pile up on Highway 80 in Vacaville.
