About Truck Accidents In San Jose

In San Jose, California, an accident with a semi-truck can be one of the most dangerous and severe accidents that one can encounter while on the road. Not only could a truck accident leave you with significant physical injuries, but it can also leave you with a considerable financial burden as well, including medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and more.

What Qualifies as a Semi-Truck?

A combination of a tractor/cab and one or more trailers, a semi-truck typically requires several axles to haul heavy loads. In fact, the number of axles can be as many as four to five, depending on the weight of the load being hauled.

The Barnes Firm is proud to be serving San Jose and nearby cities: San Francisco, Oakland, San Pablo, San Jose, Hayward, San Mateo, Berkeley, Freemont, Palo Alto, San Lorenzo, Richmond, Concord, Santa Clara, Piedmont, Albany, and more…

The Barnes Firm Helps Victims Of Truck Accidents

What Makes Semi-Truck Accidents So Dangerous?

One of the most significant factors impacting the level of danger in an accident with a semi-truck is the weight. For instance, semi-trucks can be hauling up to 147,000 pounds. To put it in perspective, that’s more than the weight of an adult sperm whale. And by comparison, a typical passenger vehicle weighs less than 5,00 pounds. So clearly, if a crash were to occur, the passenger vehicle is at a substantial disadvantage.

What Are the Most Common Injuries That Occur From Semi-Truck Accidents?

There are myriad possible injuries that could result from an accident with a semi-truck. Not only is the massive force of the impact to be considered, but also the potential for fire and other injuries. Here are some of the most common:

Seat belt injuries (neck pain, abdominal pain, respiratory difficulty)
Airbag injuries (broken nose, abrasions to the face, wrist and finger injuries)
Broken bones
Organ damage
Burn injuries
Brain injuries
Spinal injuries
Paralysis
Death

Unfortunately for victims of truck crashes, many of the injuries on this list will require extensive physical recovery, including substantial medical bills, debt, and missing work — if you are able to return to work at all. If you, a family member, or loved one has experienced any of these injuries due to a collision with a semi-truck, contact our team of truck accident attorneys in San Jose right now.
