Don't become a truck accident statistic. Truck accident statistics.
TRUCK DRIVING & EQUIPMENT:
Trucks can weigh over 80,000 pounds and be up to 75 feet long.
Stopping a truck is serious business. A truck going down 6% grade for six miles, drops 1,900 feet, which is the equivalent of slowing down from 238 MPH, or making 16 stops from 60 MPH. No wonder truck brakes can glow red.
Trucks are more susceptible to roll overs than any other highway vehicle.
Trucks often carry more than 100 gallons of flammable fuel.
Trucks carry loads that can shift, move, obstruct or create an imbalance, and possibly lead to a dangerous truck accident.
INJURIES FROM TRUCK ACCIDENTS:
Truck accidents can result in
personal injury,
wrongful death,
brain injury,
spinal cord injury,
burn injuries, and other types of injury.
CAUSES OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS:
Truck accidents can be caused by driver fatigue, improper maintenance, defective equipment, driver error, improper loading, and others.
INVESTIGATING TRUCK ACCIDENTS:
Investigating accidents involved obtaining witnesses statements, documenting vehicular damage, finding roadway crash marks, performing crush analysis, checking reaction times, braking distances, skid marks, determining vehicle weights, calculating vehicle speeds, etc.
There are many levels of accident reconstruction. Truck companies have investigators on call 24 hours a day to investigate an accident. Their job is to gather evidence to show that the truck operator did nothing wrong, blaming the injured person who frequently lies unconscious in the hospital.
TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWSUITS:
Truck accident lawsuits generally can be filed in the state where the accident occurred or where one of the defendants resides. They can also be filed in a state where a defendant is subject to jurisdiction. Truck accidents frequently occur between two vehicles far from home and far from their destination. Speak with a qualified attorney to determine where you can file your lawsuit.
Truck accident lawsuits must be filed within a certain time period, or your right to sue for damages will be lost forever. This time period for filing a lawsuit, is called the statute of limitations. Every state has its own set statutes of limitation. Consult with an attorney as to your deadlines for filing a lawsuit.
FINDING A TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY:
Find an attorney who believes in your case and who will be your champion. Make sure you get an attorney who has experience with truck accident cases, who is comfortable with trials, and can fully prepare your case.
Look at this checklist and consult an attorney, to find out about filing cases in Los Angeles Superior Court.
We can help you find a truck accident attorney in a state other than California.
If you file a lawsuit, be ready for trial. 97% of all injury cases settle without trial, but not getting ready for trial means that you will likely end up in trial.
