About Large Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks are needed to transport goods across the United States. Unfortunately, the increasing number of trucks and cars on the road has led to a high number of trucking and auto accidents in San Diego each year. Due to a commercial truck's large size and weight from the cargo they carry (they can weigh up to 80,000 pounds or even more when fully loaded) a collision with a typical
passenger car can lead to
catastrophic injuries or even
death. Their limited maneuverability can also cause an accident to occur in a situation that a smaller vehicle could have avoided. For example, heavy wind may cause a driver to lose control. Rain may seriously interfere with the effectiveness of the truck's braking systems. A trailer that is improperly loaded or overloaded may further decrease a driver's ability to control the vehicle. In any of these scenarios, the possibility of an accident is greatly increased if the truck driver is tired, distracted, under the influence of alcohol or simply careless.
What causes truck accidents?
A commercial truck driver is specially trained to drive a truck, but with the long hours and stiff deadlines many truckers have to deal with, their ability and response time may be compromised. Fatigue and stress can easily lead to a tragic accident that could have otherwise been avoided. A mechanical failure, an overloaded truck bed, or bad road or weather conditions can compromise the already unstable vehicle, and other motorists can unintentionally cause a collision by driving in a trucker’s blind spot or by changing lanes suddenly in front of them. We are competent in dealing with claims related to truck accidents caused by virtually any scenario, using our experience and resources to determine exactly who should be held liable. We can then seek the monetary damages our clients' need.
