San Francisco Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck Accidents: A Real Danger

Have you ever been driving near a large truck on local roadways and felt yourself getting nervous? It’s understandable, considering that the typical semi truck tips the scales at about 80,000 pounds, compared to a midsize car, which weighs less than 4,000 pounds. Trucks also typically tow large trailers to transport heavy loads. So, you can imagine the potential damage a truck could do if the driver loses control, either due to excessive speed, negligence, or machinery failure.

Even though semi trucks, otherwise known as tractor trailers, account for a relatively small percentage of traffic on U.S. roadways, they’re responsible for thousands of injuries and even deaths in accidents every year.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which monitors trends involving large trucks and buses:

• From 2014 to 2015, large trucks were involved in 87,000 accidents that caused injuries.
• Between 2009 and 2015, the number of crashes causing injury and involving large trucks or buses increased by 62 percent.

As mentioned earlier, our San Francisco truck accident attorneys have seen the negative effect traffic accidents can have on individuals and families in our area, but we’ve also been able to help those people fight for and win the compensation they deserve.
