Some of the most severe motor vehicle accidents are those that involve 18-wheeler semi tractor trailer trucks. Trucking accidents tend to be more serious because the sheer size and weight of the semi overpowers the smaller vehicle, resulting in serious injuries. Serious injuries include paraplegia or quadriplegia, permanent brain damage such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), amputation, chronic pain due to spinal cord injury, or sadly, death. Another aggravating factor is that these accidents generally occur on California highways, where higher speeds can contribute to the severity of the injuries. Every year, nearly 500,000 large trucks (tractor-trailers or "semis") are involved in traffic accidents in the United States. Approximately 5,000 of these accidents involving semi trailer trucks result in fatalities. In fact, one out of every eight traffic fatalities is caused by a collision with a large truck. Not surprisingly, most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of the vehicles struck by tractor-trailers. Truck drivers typically escaped unscathed.
In our experience, 18-wheeler accidents are caused by many forms of negligence, including:
- Inexperienced and poorly trained drivers
- Excessive speed or driving too fast for road conditions
- Driver Fatigue
- Poorly Maintained Equipment
- Tire Blowouts
Our law firm works with accident reconstruction experts and other experts to investigate commercial truck accidents. We depose the driver, obtain logs and maintenance records, interview the company's training and safety personnel, and analyze recorders and GPS data. Our California truck accident attorneys can work to find the person or company responsible and determine what insurance claims can be asserted. More importantly, we can defend your rights when it comes to the complex investigations that follow commercial trucking accidents, including discovering if a product defect in the truck itself or roadway contributed to an accident. It is extremely important to consult with a lawyer that has experience in truck accident claims in order to protect your right to fair compensation. Contact Sweeney, Sweeney, & Sweeney today.
