TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER

Getting hit by a large commercial truck or 18-wheeler can be a devastating and life-threatening experience. This is because many 18-wheelers and big rigs weigh as much as 30 times more than your typical sedan or SUV. As a result, the driver and/or passenger of the smaller automobile typically fares far worse when an accident occurs. Large commercial trucks are also difficult to operate and maneuver, which creates a higher risk that a truck driver will negligent collide with another motorist.

It is quite common for victims of truck accidents to suffer the following types of bodily injuries:

• Broken bones


• Traumatic brain injury or other head trauma


• Spinal cord damage


• Lacerations


• Torn muscles and tendons


• Loss of limbs


• Death

If you or a loved one was involved in an accident caused by a large commercial truck, now is the time to take action by retaining the services of an experienced and respected Los Angeles truck accident attorney with the RS Law Offices. Our legal team fully understands and appreciates the stress and anxiety you may be feeling after a serious truck accident. Your medical bills may be piling up, you are unable to work due to the severity of your bodily injuries, and your life has effectively been turned upside down as a result of the collision. These are harms and losses that warrant the pursuit of financial restitution.

Large commercial trucks and big rigs are often involved in serious accidents resulting from:

• Truck company negligence;


• Improper maintenance of the big rig;


• Drowsy or fatigued truck driver;


• Distracted truck driver (e.g., texting and driving)


• Overweight trailers


• Unsafe or unsecured loads

One of the leading causes of commercial truck accidents is the failure to properly maintain the rig by the truck company. This is because many companies want to get as much use out of a big rig as possible before spending money on repairs and maintenance (i.e. to generate more profit). In addition to lack of regular maintenance, many collisions involving big rigs and other commercial trucks are caused by exhausted and drowsy truck operators. While state law imposes hourly driving limits, truckers often drive many hours over long distances and are faced with strict delivery deadlines. For this reason, truckers often lack adequate sleep, become overly tired and easily distracted, any of which can lead to serious accidents.

When you hire an experienced California and Arizona truck accident attorney, you will be able to pursue financial restitution for the following types of harms and losses:

• Emergency medical expenses;


• Hospital bills;


• Costs associated with physical therapy;
