A man has sustained life-threatening injuries following a Santa Ana, California truck accident this morning. According to the Santa Ana police, the pedestrian, who is in his 50's or 60's, was struck at Harbor Boulevard.
Today's Orange County, California truck crash comes just one day after another trucking accident on Thursday involving two big-rigs and a Honda Civic on the southbound 57. According to CHP, one big-rig rear-ended the Civic, causing the car to go under the other large truck. The driver of the truck that hit the smaller vehicle then fled the motor vehicle accident site. The Civic's driver was transported to Placentia-Linda Hospital.
It is important if you or someone you love was injured in an Orange County, California truck crash that you explore your legal options right away. This way, if you have grounds for a case, your Santa Ana personal injury lawyers can start gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses as soon as possible.
Many trucking companies have the resources to combat truck crash claims. Some may even try to get you to settle immediately before you even know what about the extent of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, and how much time you will have to take off from work to recover. Some injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, head injuries, and other permanent disabilities may prevent a victim from being able to go back to work for the rest of his/her life.
