Truck Accident Statistics

Highway safety should be a concern to those in Southern California as 4 people die across the country every hour as a result of trucking accidents with 98 percent of the victims being in passenger vehicles. Because of the greater size and weight of tractor trailers, accidents caused by a truck driver’s negligence can be devastating and catastrophic. While federal and state laws regulate truck drivers and proscribe certain safety equipment and rest hours for drivers, according to the Department of Transportation, nearly 85 percent of trucking accidents are the result of driver fatigue, speeding or reckless driving. Additionally, the DOT found that nearly a third of the tractor trailers involved in accidents had worn or improperly adjusted brakes.

When a trucking accident occurs, the trucking company will likely have heir own investigators and attorneys working for them to limit their responsibility. At the Southern California Legal Group, we will faithfully pursue the legal rights of victims who have been injured by negligent operators of tractor trailers and seek compensation from responsible parties for the damages they have caused, including hospital bills, loss of wages, as well as money for pain and suffering and loss of companionship and support, where appropriate.

What To Do If You're Involved In A Tractor Trailer Collision

If you are involved in a collision, the primary concern is your well being and the most important thing to do is call emergency response to request both medical and police assistance. Do not leave the scene of the accident or attempt to move your vehicle unless you can safely do so. If you have a camera on your cell phone, take pictures of where the vehicles came to rest and of any visible damage.

Next, attempt to locate and obtain contact information for those individuals who witnessed the collision. Exchange insurance information and driver license information with the other party. Most accidents will cause you to incur some trauma. Out of caution, it is always best to seek medical assistance following an accident as physiological responses such as shock can mask pain or injuries which can be lessened if promptly attended to. Adhere to any instructions given at discharge and be sure to follow up with your family physician shortly thereafter.
