Fatal car crashes, truck wrecks and other road traffic accidents in Norwalk, California have run fairly consistently, according to data analysis of the past decade.

California is considered as the second most dangerous state to drive in, based on a survey conducted in 2010. Around 2,715 fatal traffic accidents, were recorded in that year alone, out of which 235 accidents involved commercial trucks. These statistics are based on the data from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. This means that nearly 9% of all fatal highway crashes in California involved at least one big rig vehicle. These statistics matche with the national statistics. In 2009, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, one out of every ten traffic fatalities in the U.S. was a result from collisions involving large trucks.

Large trucks are hazardous, particularly on busy California interstate roads. The huge weight and size of trucks cause big trucks to take significantly longer to stop, in comparison to motorcycles, cars and other vehicles. Large trucks take up to 40% more distance to stop than a small passenger vehicle or car. Therefore, this stopping handicap has been a cause of major truck accidents causing fatal injuries to occupants of cars and other smaller vehicles. Our truck accident injury lawyers and law corporation work tirelessly to bring relief to you or your loved one, who has been involved in a truck crash, personal injury claim or a wrongful death claim in Norwalk, Downey, Los Angeles, Riverside or any other places in California.

We had two prior attorneys who were unable to settle our car accident case. We then hired Gary and Robert Walch and they not only got us both great settlements, but personally spent time with us explaining everything clearly. We couldn't be happier. Thank you! A.M. and M.A.
