Truck Accidents

California Truck Accident Lawyers

Being involved in an accident with a semi truck is a frightening experience. Families and individuals who experience these kinds of accidents often suffer catastrophic and fatal injuries. According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis:

Each year, thousands of motorists are involved in fatal accidents with large trucks - those weighing more than 10,000 pounds - such as tractor trailers, semi trucks, and 18-wheelers.
In 2004 alone, large trucks accounted for 8 percent of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes.
In 2004, commercial trucks accounted for 4 percent of all vehicles involved in injury accidents and crashes involving only property damage.

A serious truck accident can result in spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, paralysis, or death. If you or your family member has been injured in a truck crash or collision, contact an experienced California truck accident lawyer at Freeman & Freeman, LLP for a free consultation.

Trucking Accident Injury Attorneys

At Freeman & Freeman, LLP, we understand physical injuries are not the only damages that result from tractor trailer wrecks. While some of the most catastrophic injuries in semi-truck accidents are physical, some accident victims suffer other types of long-term injury or damage. Some victims of auto-truck collisions develop emotional or psychological symptoms, such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Others develop progressive physical conditions, such as heart problems because of the on-going stress of having been in a crash.

In many truck accident cases, truck driver inattention, recklessness or fatigue is to blame for the accident. There are many reasons why commercial trucks are inherently dangerous, and the truck driver or trucking company is frequently at fault. Accidents can be caused by:

Aggressive and reckless driving (speeding)
Cell phone use and inattentive driving
Illegally driving excessive hours which creates driver fatigue
Failure to adhere to federal trucking standards and rules
DUI or drug usage
Failure to maintain the truck properly
Improperly loaded or overloaded trucks
Failure to install blind spot mirrors to avoid dangerous lane changes
Truck's tendencies to jackknife and tip over

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a crash with a semi truck, tractor trailer, or 18-wheeler - no matter what the cause - contact an experienced tractor trailer injury attorney for a thorough assessment of your case.
