For legal purposes, trucks are defined as weighing 10,000 pounds or more and being used for commercial purposes. These big rig trucks are the ones you see transporting fuel, food products, livestock, and other supplies all across the country. There are more than 8.5 million large trucks registered in the United States, and they are involved in more than 460,000 accidents per year. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, these truck accidents result in approximately 114,000 injuries per year and 5,000 fatalities.

As you can imagine, going up against a big rig truck in your compact car, SUV or even your own truck, is a dangerous situation. Due to their massive weight and cumbersome size, they can be slow to respond to rapidly changing conditions and have difficulty reducing their speed quickly, and if they collide with your vehicle, the consequences can be grave. If you are involved in a truck accident, you could find yourself with life-altering injuries that temporarily or permanently reduce your ability to provide for yourself and your family.

In California, all trucking companies must abide by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, which requires all trucks on the road to be covered by a certain level of insurance depending on the materials they transport. Trucks operate under different laws and guidelines than passenger cars, so it is even more important that you contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible if you are in an accident with a big rig truck.

Whether your condition is temporary or permanent, you can suffer significant consequences, including physical pain and suffering, inability to work, emotional pain, and economic losses.

There are specific truck accident laws that determine your legal right to compensation. There are laws that govern how much you can recover on your bills that were covered by your health insurance and there are laws that govern whether or not your injuries were actually caused by the accident.
