Truck Accidents

Holding Negligent Truck Companies and Drivers Accountable

Semi truck accidents occur for a variety of reasons: the driver was fatigued, the cargo was improperly loaded or the trucking company hired an unsafe driver. Sometimes, truck drivers themselves are the victims of unsafe trucks. Whatever the cause of the accident, you deserve compensation for your serious injuries or losses.

At Baum & Blake, in San Francisco, we have a reputation for providing skilled and knowledgeable representation to clients and their families in proving who was responsible for a truck accident. We have the persistence, experience and dedication it takes to achieve results in complex tractor trailer accident cases.

If you or a loved one was seriously or fatally injured in a semi truck accident anywhere in California, we invite you to contact our office for a free initial consultation.
