San Francisco Trucking Accidents Lawyers
Attorneys for Big Rig Accidents in San Francisco, California
Approximately 450,000 trucking accidents occur every year, throughout the United States. These result in about 135,000 serious injuries and 5,000 deaths. Trucking accidents are particularly deadly because of the large size and weight of the big rigs, semi-trucks, tractor trailers or 18 wheelers that are involved. Many trucks weigh in excess of 10,000 pounds and often carry hazardous materials, livestock and other materials that may become a secondary danger during an accident. Many people who are injured in trucking accidents may have to live with catastrophic injuries such as brain damage, loss of limbs or disfigurement for the remaining years of their lives.
Trucking accidents typically occur due to adverse weather conditions, inexperience, reckless driving, driver fatigue, DUI (driving under the influence), DUID (driving under the influence of drugs), jackknifing, rollovers, mechanical failures, unsafe backing, overloaded trucks, and other issues that affect the driver or trucks’ safety on the road. The first step that should be taken when a person is the victim of a trucking accident is to contact a San Francisco trucking accident attorney immediately.
