San Jose Tractor Trailer Accident Attorney

Injured in a tractor trailer accident in San Jose?

Truck drivers routinely race through the San Jose area with their tractor-trailers weighing up to 80,000 pounds oblivious to the hazard they are creating. Most tractor trailers are long, very heavy, have a high center of gravity and travel at high speeds. This mix of factors, when combined together, can often lead to terrible accidents resulting in major injuries or death. What's more, the insurance companies that insure the tractor trailers compound the victim's injuries by refusing to pay them the compensation they clearly deserve. If you or a family member has been hurt in a tractor trailer or truck accident, you are urged to contact a San Jose personal injury attorney skilled in handling tractor trailer accidents and making the insurance companies do what is right.

Causes of Tractor Trailer Accidents

• Driver fatigue: Truck companies in their greed for profits pay drivers by the mile and demand that they meet stiff delivery targets. As a result, the drivers are compelled to drive long after they are too tired and put all in their path at risk of injury.
• Improper loading: Trucks are often overloaded making them heavier than legal limits. Loads are sometimes improperly balanced or secured. These factors can make the tractor trailer difficult to control and may result in horrible accidents.
• Unsafe Driving: Despite training, some drivers recklessly tailgate and speed causing catastrophe when they cannot stop.
• Poor maintenance: Brakes and other equipment can be neglected with disastrous results.
