Do Not Engage with Insurance Companies Without a Lawyer to Represent You When You Are Injured.
When a truck driver was at fault, the most common reason for the crash was speeding. A medium or heavy truck is one that weighs more than 10,000 pounds. Even going a little bit over the speed limit makes such a large vehicle very dangerous. It also gives the trucker less time to react before their rig hits another vehicle or a pedestrian. Driver tiredness is another common cause of a semi truck accident. The results can be scary, with people suffering broken bones, spinal and brain injuries, nerve damage, and even disfigurement.

Silverthorne Attorneys Handles Injury Cases in Los Angeles.
Truck drivers can also be victims in accidents, though. Another driver moving into a lane where a semi is already driving is the most common reason for these kinds of accidents. 7% of truck accidents involve drunk drivers, too. Truckers can also be victims when their own trucking company is careless. If a company’s mechanics failed to properly maintain the rig’s brakes, for example, the vehicle could be too hard for even an experienced truck driver to control safely. Loading is another problem. For example, the people who loaded a truck’s trailer may not have properly balanced or secured what’s inside.

Drivers and truckers aren’t the only people who can be victims in truck crashes. Pedestrians and bicyclists are at very high risk. As bad as the difference between a rig and a car is, the difference between a rig and a person is huge. There is also a big risk that the victim will have many injuries that will need years of care. Some victims even need nursing care for the rest of their lives. Similarly, passengers in vehicles are at risk. Even worse, the driver of the car they were in might be at fault. They can still hire a semi accident truck attorney and ask for money to cover damages. Bystanders can also be victims. Truck accidents sometimes even involve buildings and injure people inside.

A truck accident injury lawyer will tell you that the most common time of day for a crash is surprising. While sleepiness and darkness might cause some accidents at night, the daytime is much more likely. A truck injury lawyer will point out that the daytime is more dangerous simply because there are many more vehicles on the road. Rush hour traffic is a common time for a truck accident crash. A lot of trucking activity is related to business, too. Many people have come to a truck accident lawyer after a crash that involved a delivery truck, for example.
We Have Recovered Millions For Our Clients.
The types of injuries that can happen are truly scary. Broken bones are common just because of the force involved in a semi truck accident. Similarly, every truck accident attorney has seen cases involving brain and spinal injuries. People can get major cuts, too. Even damage to a person’s internal organs can happen. Getting money to cover medical costs for these injuries is a big reason for hiring a semi truck accident attorney. Even scarier, the medical costs may continue for years. People often need physical therapy, in-home nursing, and medical devices in the years after a crash. A truck accident lawyer will also fight to get you money for pain, suffering, and trauma. Likewise, victims often have trouble living their lives normally after a crash. They deserve to be paid for what they’ve been through. A truck injury lawyer can help them figure out what their chances of winning a case are.
