Motor Vehicle Accidents in Santa Rosa and Personal Injury / Wrongful Death
Auto Accidents

If you are suffering from a serious bodily injury following a car accident, you should seek legal advice from a knowledgeable Santa Rosa auto accident attorney at Edgar Law Firm.

Trucking Accidents
Due to the sheer size of commercial vehicles, trucking accidents are much more likely than auto accidents to lead to devastating injuries or death. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a large truck is any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or more. Sadly, statistics show that most trucking accidents involve an element of negligence on the part of the truck driver, along with inadequate training, demanding delivery schedules and a host of mechanical and other safety concerns. Any traffic accident involving a truck may lead to serious injuries or wrongful death.

Motorcycle Accidents
Of all motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents are among the most severe, frequently leading to death. In fact, due to motorcycle riders’ lack of physical protection and limited visibility, motorcycle crashes are 26 times more fatal than car crashes. Motorcyclists are also more susceptible to injuries from other vehicles on the road, debris, weather conditions and manufacturer defects. Many motorcycle accidents in Santa Rosa are caused by the negligence of another driver, largely because motorcycles can be difficult to see. The results of a motorcycle accident are often devastating, leaving victims with serious injuries that lead to permanent disabilities and, in some cases, wrongful death. The skilled personal injury attorneys at Edgar Law Firm have successfully tried a number of personal injury and wrongful death cases following a Santa Rosa / Napa motorcycle accident.
