Truck and 18 Wheeler Accidents in San Diego

Trucking accidents in San Diego are some of the most terrifying events that can occur on the road. They are also far more common than most people believe. Over 250,000 dangerous large truck and 18-wheeler accidents occur each year in the U.S., and large truck-related accidents kill and injure over 150,000 Americans per year, even though trucks, big rigs and semis represent only 3% of all vehicles on US highways and streets.

The risks to occupants of passenger cars in truck and 18-wheeler accidents are very high. Nearly 78% of the people killed and 84% of the people seriously injured in 2-vehicle crashes involving a passenger vehicle and a large truck are the occupants of the passenger vehicle.

When these accidents occur, and you are the one suffering because of a trucking accident in San Diego, who can you turn to help you get the justice you deserve, and the compensation you need for your harms and losses?

Why do Trucking Accidents in San Diego Occur?
Casey Gerry’s attorneys understand the various causes of trucking accidents in San Diego generally fall into one of several categories:

• Reckless Driving. Trucks are large and unwieldy. They have poor areas of visibility and numerous blind spots. When drivers fail to account for other vehicles on the road or use poor judgment in operating their truck, and you suffer for it, you can often collect financial compensation for your loss, injury or pain and suffering.
• Mechanical Failures. Trucks are complicated machines that require constant upkeep due to the miles they travel and the loads they carry. Truck drivers and the companies that employ them must maintain their rigs, but if they do not, accidents can occur and people like you suffer the consequences.
• Improperly Secured Loads. It is the duty and responsibility of truckers to ensure that the loads they carry are safely stowed and secured. If they do not, and you suffer a trucking accident because of this negligence, you may be entitled to financial restitution for your situation.
• Driver Fatigue. Truckers often have to drive long hours under tight delivery and pick up deadlines, pushing themselves to take risks that leave them tired and distracted. A driver asleep at the wheel in a passenger car is a dangerous thing, but a trucker asleep at the wheel of a multi-ton vehicle is a terror on the road.
