San Francisco Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents can have disastrous consequences. Big-rigs, 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers and semi trucks are much bigger and much heavier than the passenger vehicles they share the road with. If you have been involved in any type of collision with a multi-axle vehicle and have been injured, you should speak to a qualified truck accident attorney in San Francisco with success handling California truck accident injury claims.
If you are involved in a San Francisco truck collision, the chances are high that your injuries will be serious. Because of the sheer size and weight of a truck, a truck accident can cause death or life-changing catastrophic injuries requiring long-term medical care and rehabilitation. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident caused by another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Other accident-related expenses
We have helped many victims and their families recover compensation for their injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one. Our attorneys have successfully recovered more than $70 million in verdicts and settlements for our clients. For more information on past cases, see our client testimonials and case results.
Causes of Truck Accidents
Determining the cause of a truck accident is a complex process. There may be more than one cause, and more than one party responsible for the accident. Some causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver Prescription Drug Use
- Driver Alcohol Use
- Speeding
- Unfamiliar with Roadway
- Over-the-counter Drug Use
- Inadequate Surveillance
- Driver Fatigue
- Illegal Maneuver
- Load Shifting During Transportation
- Driver Distraction
- Aggressive Driving
- Overloaded Trailers
- Bad Weather Conditions
Determining Who Is Responsible For a Truck Accident
After an accident, a trucking company will immediately conduct their own investigation to determine the cause of a crash. If we represent you in your truck accident claim, we will conduct our own thorough investigation to establish who is liable for your injuries. Because we’ve handled hundreds of truck accident cases in California, we are familiar with investigation procedures and how to quickly preserve evidence. Our investigators will collect information, obtain police reports and written statements, and locate witnesses and others with important, relevant information. Evidence has a way of quickly disappearing after an accident. For this reason, it is never too soon to talk to an attorney. We can dispatch our investigation team to an accident scene to take photos and preserve evidence of tire skid marks, motor vehicle fluid stains and other accident debris.
Once we have established who is responsible, our attorneys will aggressively pursue maximum compensation for your injuries or loss.
Truck Accident Injuries
Thousands of people die every year in truck accidents and more than 150,000 people suffer truck accident related injuries. Reported injuries from truck accidents are much more serious than those in car accidents. We have represented victims with serious catastrophic injuries from truck accidents, including victims of head injuries brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and burn injuries.
Trucking Safety Regulations
Truck drivers and trucking companies must comply with additional safety laws that automobile drivers are not subject to. The United States Department of Transportation established the Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) in 2000, which regulates the trucking industry. The FMCSA is dedicated to reducing collisions, injuries and fatalities involving buses and large trucks. The FMCSA develops, maintains and enforces federal regulations for:
- Driver Hours of Service
- Hazardous Material Transportation
- Truck Maintenance and Repair
- Driver Use of Alcohol and Drugs
