Truck Accident Lawyers File Lawsuit Against Victory Packaging and Golden State Container After Devastating Truck Crash

The Ammons Law Firm has taken legal action against Victory Packaging, Inc. and Victory Packaging, L.P., both doing business as Golden State Container, Inc., following a devastating tractor-trailer crash. The incident occurred on a rainy day when a commercial truck allegedly hydroplaned on wet roads, crossed the median, and collided head-on with another vehicle.

The lawsuit claims that Golden State’s driver was speeding in hazardous weather conditions, leading to the loss of control and the subsequent collision. The impact was so severe that it caused an explosion and fire, resulting in significant injuries to the occupant of the other vehicle. The victim reportedly suffered harm to multiple body parts, including brain trauma.

At the heart of this case is the allegation that Golden State failed in its duty to properly train and supervise its driver. The Ammons Law Firm argues that the company did not provide adequate instruction on safe driving practices, especially in challenging weather conditions. Furthermore, the lawsuit contends that Golden State neglected to implement and enforce proper safety protocols that are standard in the trucking industry.

The legal action pursues claims under various theories of liability. These include direct negligence against Golden State for their alleged failure to train and supervise their employee adequately. The lawsuit also invokes the doctrine of respondeat superior, which holds employers responsible for the actions of their employees while on the job.

In addition to these claims, the Ammons Law Firm is seeking exemplary damages based on allegations of gross negligence. The lawsuit argues that Golden State’s actions, when viewed objectively, involved an extreme degree of risk considering the probability and magnitude of potential harm.
