Why Truck Accidents Are Different: Understanding the Risks

Truck accidents are not your average vehicle collisions. Commercial trucks are much larger and heavier than passenger cars, and the forces involved in a crash with a big rig can cause catastrophic damage. In fact, truck accidents often result in severe injuries, permanent disabilities, or even wrongful death.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in California

Truck accidents often occur due to unique factors that make them different from regular car accidents. Below are some of the most common causes:

1. Driver Fatigue – Truck drivers often spend long hours on the road, leading to drowsy driving and poor decision-making. Fatigue impairs reaction times and can result in devastating crashes.
2. Distracted Driving – Truck drivers, just like other drivers, may use mobile devices or other distractions while driving. This is a dangerous risk, as even a moment of inattention can cause a serious accident.
3. Driving Under the Influence – Driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs is one of the most reckless behaviors that can lead to a serious truck accident.
4. Mechanical Failures – Trucks need regular maintenance and inspections. Defective brakes, worn-out tires, or broken lights can cause catastrophic accidents.
5. Improper Loading or Cargo Shifting – Overloaded or unbalanced cargo can make it more difficult for a truck to maintain control, especially when navigating sharp turns or sudden maneuvers.
6. Reckless or Aggressive Driving – Truck drivers who speed, tailgate, or make unsafe lane changes put everyone on the road at risk.

Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal injuries
• Amputations
• Paralysis
• Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety)

Who Is at Fault for a Truck Accident in California?

In truck accident cases, fault isn’t always straightforward. There may be multiple parties who share responsibility for the crash. Determining liability is crucial in ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

Potentially Liable Parties:

1. The Truck Driver: If the trucker was speeding, fatigued, distracted, or negligent, they may be directly responsible for the crash.
2. The Trucking Company: Trucking companies can be held responsible if they were negligent in hiring, training, or supervising the driver. They may also be liable if they violated regulations, such as allowing drivers to exceed hours of service limits.
3. The Manufacturer: If the truck or any of its parts (brakes, tires, etc.) were defective, the manufacturer could be liable.
4. Cargo Loaders: Improperly loaded cargo can cause a truck to be unstable or unbalanced, leading to accidents.
5. Government Entities: Poorly maintained roads or hazardous highway conditions could contribute to the cause of an accident.

Our experienced truck accident lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the accident to identify all liable parties and ensure you get the justice you deserve.
