What the Law Says

California’s basic speed law, Vehicle Code section 22350, says no one may drive at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent given the weather, visibility, traffic, and the surface and width of the highway. A driver who allegedly goes too fast for conditions may be found to have breached this duty. It applies to commercial truck drivers as much as to anyone else on Highway 99.

California Civil Code section 1714 provides that everyone is generally responsible for injuries caused by their lack of ordinary care or skill in managing their property or person. In a crash involving a big rig, this general negligence rule can be part of how responsibility is evaluated for injuries and losses. Each case depends on its own facts and the evidence collected.

This summary is general information, not legal advice. Every case depends on its specific facts.
