Bay Area Truck Accident Lawyer

Home > Bay Area Truck Accident Lawyer

Crashes involving enormous commercial vehicles cause some of the most devastating injuries imaginable. If you’ve survived a collision with a big rig, you’re probably thanking your lucky stars that you’re alive. But after you’re done being grateful for your life, you will probably feel angry that your life was put in danger in the first place.

Most truck collisions aren’t mere accidents, and they could have been prevented if not for the negligence of either the truck driver or another at-fault party. Your Bay Area truck accident lawyer will help you hold those responsible for your injuries accountable and get you the fair compensation you need to move beyond this crash.

Who’s Responsible for Bay Area Commercial Truck Wrecks?

When an 18-wheeler and a smaller vehicle collide, most people assume that either the truck driver or the driver of the other vehicle is responsible for the wreck. The trucker certainly could be found responsible, but other parties can also play a role in a Bay Area big rig crash.

To give you an example, let’s say a body shop had just been replacing the truck’s tires that morning, and then later in the day, one of the tires detached, causing the trucker to lose control of the vehicle and crash into you. Who would be responsible?

If it’s discovered that the mechanic or truck repair worker failed to properly secure the tire, the mechanic or body shop could be held responsible for the crash. Here are a few other examples of factors that cause tractor-trailer collisions in the Bay Area:

  • Unsafe roadways
  • Unsecured loads
  • Drunk, reckless, drowsy, or distracted driving

Truck Crashes Cause Serious Injuries

When you’ve been involved in a collision with a commercial vehicle, it’s very likely that you have serious injuries. Serious injuries usually have serious impacts on your life. Here are some examples of the serious injuries that Bay Area truck collisions often cause:

  • Neck and spinal injuries
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Back injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Severe burns and lacerations
  • Significant scarring
  • Organ damage

Compensation for Your Bay Area Semi-Truck Collision

If you’ve been seriously injured, the medical expenses could be enormous because of surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and hospital bills. In addition to medical costs, your Bay Area 18-wheeler crash lawyer can help you recover the following types of compensation for your wreck:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Missed work wages
  • Mental anguish
  • Disfigurement and dismemberment
  • Physical therapy and mental health treatment
