Big rig accident cases are more complicated compared to other vehicle accidents. It is not the same with a regular vehicular accident as big rigs are commercial trucks that are built to transport large and heavy loads. The examples are eighteen-wheeler and semi-tractor-trailers. Since these vehicles are definitely large in size, this could cause serious injuries and serious damage of property. When this happens, the investigator of the insurance company arrives to examine where the accident took place and collect necessary information. While you are required to report to the assigned police officer about what happened, you should be careful about not providing any information towards the insurance company as could be used against you.
Moreover, this kind of accident involves liability issues both on the part of the truck driver and the trucking company. Thus, it is very important to have an experienced big rig accident lawyer to help you protect your rights against the aggressive lawyers of trucking companies. Once contacted, LA Injury Group can conduct a separate investigation. To make sure all the necessary information and detail will not be missed. Also, they will make sure important evidence, such as driver’s license, truck inspection and maintenance records, will not be lost or destroyed.
While there are other causes of this kind of accidents, these four are usually the common ones the LA Injury Group handled:
Like any other drivers, the truck driver can also be influenced with alcohol or drugs. Most of the time, they get tired as driving such a large vehicle can truly cause a lot of stress. Another reason is, even when they are supposed to be resting, they could not do so because they have to meet a deadline. Therefore, it could cause the driver to be drowsy.
As these large vehicles travel at a longer distance than a usual vehicle with heavy loads. It is usually prone to different problems if not being maintained well. Problems such as tires and engines could occur and experiencing either one while travelling is extremely dangerous.
Despite the weather conditions, truck drivers still need to drive as they need to meet deadlines and bring goods from one point to another on time. Even when the weather is bad, truck drivers tend to drive faster and it often results in serious accidents.
Since trucks need to carry heavy loads, loading must be properly done in order for the driver to drive the truck safely. Or else, the truck driver could lose control of the truck and therefore result in an accident.
Because of the causes, these are the usual forms of accidents that happen: rollover and rear end accidents, blind spots, or sideswipes. It is important to know the cause and the form of accident to figure out the liability of the action.
