Truck Accidents

Truck Accidents

Due to their size and weight, a truck is one of the worst types of vehicles to get into an accident with. A truck wreck can have fatal and tragic results. Big rigs, for example, usually weigh over 80,000 pounds. If an 18-wheeler that weighs 40 tons is speeding even just a little bit above the limit, it can be that much more difficult for it to brake and stop properly which, can result in the truck jackknifing. Contact our California lawyers if a negligent truck driver caused harm to you or someone close to you.

Most of the time, it is the negligence of someone else that causes a this type of accident. Whether it is the driver or a truck manufacturer, some of the many reasons that a truck crash occurs is the following:

* Speeding
* Drunk Driving
* Mechanical Errors
* Heavy Loads
* Fatigue
* Reckless Driving

According to recent California statistics, over 12,000 commercial and semi trucks were involved in non-fatal accidents in just one year. Additionally, over 5,000 truck accidents resulted in injuries. In the entire country – not just southern California – almost 5,000 of these types of accidents were fatal. This number is far too high, especially when most of these incidents could have been prevented if the truck driver wasn’t negligent or if someone didn’t make a careless decision. Our California truck accident lawyers are here to help you if you or someone close to you was hurt in a truck accident.

Most truck drivers spend hours – even days – traveling through the entire country, not just through Los Angeles and southern California. Because of this, most drivers are very fatigued. Being tired delays your reactions and impairs your judgment and can almost be just as bad as driving while intoxicated. If you feel that a truck driver’s lack of sleep caused the death of your loved one, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our lawyers today!
