Trucking Accidents
With
millions of cars on
Californias roads, many
of them being large
trucks weighing over
10,000 pounds, trucking
accidents are
inevitable. Trucking
accidents can occur for
many reasons, just like
normal car accidents.
Causes for trucking
accidents include:
driver fatigue, when the
truck driver makes wide
turns while another
vehicle cuts into the
truckers inside lane,
brake failure, blind
spots, substance abuse,
and more.
Truck drivers cannot
maneuver the same as
smaller vehicles, which
causes a large problem
prior to and during an
actual auto accident.
The driver of a large
truck has more blind
spots as well, making it
difficult to see
vehicles, pedestrians,
and other objects on the
road. If a trucking
accident does occur, it
may be difficult for the
truck to stay upright,
ultimately causing a
larger hazard. It is the
truck driver's
responsibility to take
all necessary safety
precautions while
driving so that not only
himself, but the drivers
around him are not
endangered.
In the case of a
trucking accident, many
people can be
endangered. Victims of
auto accidents involving
trucks should report the
accident to their
insurance company
immediately, make all
necessary police
reports, seek medical
attention, and legal
assistance if needed.

Every 16 minutes a
person is killed or
injured in a truck
accident. Did you know
that big rig truck
accidents continue to
increase? Even with
these frightening
scenarios and
statistics, powerful
trucking industry
lobbyists continue to
call for the weakening
of truck safety rules
and regulations to reap
a higher profit.
Trucking revenues
totaled $610 billion
last year and revenues
are forecasted to nearly
double by 2015.
While commercial
trucking growth is good
news for the trucking
companies and the
nations economy, it is
bad news for the cars,
vans and SUVs that share
the road with these
potentially lethal
giants. In tractor
trailer accidents, 98%
of fatalities occur to
the individuals in the
passenger vehicles.
When truck collisions do
occur, trucking
companies involved in
the accident often send
representatives to the
accident scene. These
agents work to handle
everything at the scene
of the accident so that
they can limit or
mitigate their companys
liability.
Many times trucking,
hauling and leasing
companies dispute whose
insurance will provide
for victim compensation.
These companies
representatives know
that the ideal time to
confront an accident
victim is immediately
following the event. In
the aftermath of a truck
accident, the
traumatized victim will
need to make important
decisions that will
impact their future.
Grieving, anxious and
injured people are
pressured by trucking
and insurance companies
tactics. Too often the
victims and their
families struggle
through the difficult
after effects of truck
collisions alone.

experienced truck
accident lawyers,
