SACRAMENTO TRACTOR TRAILER INJURY ACCIDENT

Sacramento Semi Truck Injury Accident Lawyer, Sacramento Big Rig Accident Attorney


Big Rig Injury Accidents
Auto accidents involving tractor trailer trucks often have devastating results. With their large size and freight loads, even a relatively 'minor' accident can leave victims injured or lead to wrongful death.

Truck accident lawsuits present a unique set of considerations including complications with the truck carrier / company, insurance companies, and attorneys representing the truck company. If you, or a family member, have been injured in an accident with a tractor trailer - you need the experienced truck accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Ilija Cvetich.

There are many reasons why a truck accident might occur. Some of the more common reasons include:

  • The driver is rushing to meet a tight delivery deadline
  • The driver is tired due to driving for long periods
  • The driver is stressed and not paying enough attention to other driver and the road
  • It is difficult to see blind spots from a large truck
  • The driver does not leave enough space for his vehicle between other vehicles
  • Mechanical failure and defective components
  • Overloading of the truck

In addition to the dangers inherent in the size and weight of the trucks used in commercial transportation and shipping, a number of characteristics inherent in the business can contribute to traffic accidents. These include:

  • Inadequate training as to driving technique, safety concerns, and defensive driving.
  • Systems of compensation that encourage faster vehicle speeds and more hours of consecutive vehicle operation than would normally be advisable.
  • Unrealistic schedules and expectations of trucking companies that encourage drivers to hurry, despite safety risks involved.
