Why Do Truck Accidents Cause Catastrophic Injuries?

Due to the enormous size and weight of commercial trucks, collisions with smaller passenger vehicles often result in devastating and life-altering injuries. If you have been seriously injured in a truck accident anywhere in Santa Ana, be sure that your medical records include all diagnosed injuries caused by the crash, which will help our attorneys better prepare an injury claim on your behalf.

We can handle truck accident claims involving the most severe of injuries, such as:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe burns
• Fractures and crushed bones
• Internal organ damage
• Permanent disabilities

Why Do Truck Accident Cases Have Significant Value?

Truck accident claims tend to involve significant compensation demands because the injuries and damages suffered by claimants are often severe and life-changing. Victims frequently face high medical bills, extensive recovery periods, lost wages, and permanent disabilities that need various forms of support, possibly even daily, in-home care. These factors combine to create a legal case with significant value that accounts for both current and future financial losses.

Damages that may be pursued in a truck accident case often include:

• Extensive medical treatments and rehabilitation costs
• Lifelong care for permanent injuries
• Major property damage to passenger vehicles
• Lost earning capacity for survivors unable to return to work
• Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering

Even though trucking companies typically carry large insurance policies, they rarely ever make it easy to gain the benefits of those policies. Instead, many trucking companies and their insurers recognize that the compensation and coverage owed to an injured motorist might be massive, so they dig in and fight to avoid paying even a dollar of that amount.

Why Do Truck Accidents Happen?

Most truck accidents are tied to some form of negligence, whether on the part of the truck driver, their employer, or another related party. Understanding the root cause of the crash is an important part of preparing a truck accident claim. After all, your claim needs to not only to show that you weren’t liable for your losses but also which party or parties were liable instead. Let us determine liability on your behalf by looking into the mistakes that the truck driver might have committed to cause the wreck.

Common truck driver errors that lead to accidents include:

• Driving while fatigued
• Speeding, especially in busy traffic conditions
• Distracted driving, such as texting behind the wheel or using a GPS
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Failing to properly inspect and maintain the truck

Is the Trucking Company Liable, Too?

Under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, trucking companies can be held liable for the actions of their employees if the negligence occurred within the scope of their work. This rule stops employers from simply shifting all blame onto their workers and employees when a work-related accident happens. Therefore, trucking companies often must take some, most, or full responsibility for the truck accidents caused by their drivers.

Beyond vicarious liability, trucking companies can also act negligently themselves through unethical or careless business practices that put people in danger. When this happens, they may be held directly responsible for contributing to an accident, even if the truck driver was an independent contractor that isn’t subject to respondeat superior.

Examples of trucking company negligence that can cause a truck accident include:

• Hiring unqualified, inexperienced, or unsafe drivers (e.g. truck drivers with DUI histories)
• Failing to enforce proper rest breaks for drivers
• Overloading trucks beyond legal weight limits
• Neglecting routine truck maintenance
