A place to visit in Encino is the monument of the Encino Oak Tree or California Live Oak that stood for over a millennium until it was brought down in 1998 by the El Nino. The stump of the tree remains as a monument and is a symbol for Encino because the word "oak" in Spanish is Encino. The Balboa Park in Encino is also a nice place to visit.

Encino truck collision injury victims can have serious injuries, sometimes resulting in wrongful death claims. When truck drivers are taking their trucks on the road, they need to make sure their vehicles are functioning properly, that they have sufficient rest and have nothing for a distraction. Factors contributing to truck accidents include:

• Truck and car drivers using their cell phones and being distracted either by a phone call or even more dangerous, looking away from the road to text someone
• Hail storm cracking windshield of vehicle causing driver to not see ahead
• When car driver pulls into traffic and gets in front of a truck without increasing speed fast enough, causing truck to collide with the car

This is essential for truck drivers who are required to travel far distances with their cargo. Many truck accidents occur from truck drivers falling asleep on the wheel and going into other lanes. Having a full meal causes a person to use extra energy to digest the food, which leaves the body without enough oxygen and nutrients that leads to fatigue. It is suggested that truck drivers make short stops and have smaller meals or snacks at different rest stops on the road to prevent a potential truck accident that can lead to numerous casualties.

An extremely serious injury that a victim of a truck crash can obtain is a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The brain is a very sensitive part of the human body where any kind of damage sustained could be irreparable and alter one or several motor skills, sometimes even leading to death. A truck accident can cause damage through the skull and into the brain because of the strong impact that occurs on a person's head, causing the head to violently shake throughout the truck collision, altering the cerebral blood flow and pressure within the skull.
