Trucking Accident Attorneys

 

Encounters with large commercial vehicles like 18-wheelers and other semi-trucks are common in the vast landscapes and growing population centers of California, Arizona, Nevada and the surrounding states. Yet, for the driver of a smaller vehicle, a trucking accident often results in catastrophic consequences due to the sheer disparity in size and weight. To put it into perspective, a loaded semi-truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, dwarfing the average car, which weighs around 3,000 pounds. In these types of collisions, it’s typically the occupants of the passenger vehicle who bear the brunt of the impact, suffering from severe, often life-altering injuries. At The Mooshekh Law Firm, P.C., we recognize the magnitude of devastation such accidents can bring, not just physically, but emotionally and financially as well. Our dedicated team is committed to representing individuals and families affected by truck accidents, ensuring they receive full and fair compensation for their losses. Our experience extends across a broad spectrum of truck-related accidents, from collisions with semis and tractor-trailers to construction vehicles and sea-land container trucks.

 

Common Causes Behind Truck Accidents

 

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), in 2020 alone, over 415,000 large trucks were involved in accidents, resulting in 4,965 fatalities and severe injuries for 147,000 individuals. While truck accidents might be rarer than car collisions, their repercussions are
undeniably dire. The causes of these accidents vary:

  • Driver Fatigue: Despite state and federal mandates necessitating rest breaks, many drivers—in their haste to meet tight and potentially negligent deadlines set by the trucking company—disregard these regulations.
  • Inattention and Distractions: Lapses in concentration, like changing a radio station or checking a cell phone, can lead to devastating accidents.
  • Speeding: The pressure to meet delivery timelines often pushes drivers to exceed speed limits, compromising road safety in the process.
  • Unfamiliar Terrains: The diverse terrains of the Southwest can pose challenges even for the most experienced drivers, particularly in unfamiliar areas.
  • Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Brake failures and other maintenance issues, especially among smaller trucking companies and independent contractors, are alarmingly common.

 

The Repercussions of a Truck Collision

 

Injuries from truck accidents are usually severe, ranging from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord damage, and amputations, to burns, broken bones, and internal injuries. Tragically, many of these accidents also result in fatalities.

 

Special Provisions and Legal Assistance

 

In addition to the size disparity and the corresponding severity of injuries, what sets truck accidents apart from normal car accidents is the intricate web of regulations that govern commercial trucking. Drivers are required to have specialized training and licenses, and any breach in these stipulations can lead to the trucking company being held accountable for negligent hiring or training.
