Semi Truck Injury Accidents

An accident that involves a big rig or 18 wheeler commonly involves serious injuries and deaths since cars are designed under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to handle impacts from other normal sized vehicles. Truck accidents are an every day occurrence in California for a variety of reasons including:

Driver fatigue
Overly demanding truck driver schedules
Failure to properly inspect tires, brakes and lights
Tailgating
Long work-shifts
Cell phone use
Failure to install blind spot mirrors
Dangerous lane changes
Jackknifing
Aggressive Truck Driving
Driving over the speed limit

Delays can harm your case and important evidence can disappear, so call immediately and get a free consultation. There is no cost to you unless we win your truck accident injury case.

Truck Accident Statistics

The truck drivers in most cases walk away unharmed, as nearly 98% of people seriously injured due to a truck accident happen to be the other driver(s) involved in the crash. Recent statistics show:

Every day 90 people in the U.S. are injured or killed in a truck related accident.
More than 450,000 large trucks are involved in crashes each year.
More than 1,000,000 people were involved in the crashes.
More than 5,000 are killed each year.
