While we handle them all, most fall into one of several basic types.<\/p>\n When a massive semi rolls over on the road, it puts everyone in the vicinity at risk of being gravely injured. Because semis are tall relative to their width, they are more susceptible to rolling in all the following situations:<\/p>\n Poorly loaded trailers can also contribute to rollovers.<\/p>\n Tractors and their trailers are connected by large hitches that allow both parts to move separately but in tandem. When truckers take curves, turns, or exits too quickly, when they fail to adjust their speed in relation to the effects of bad weather, or when they fail to proceed with the necessary caution, life-threatening jackknife accidents can happen. The truck\u2019s two parts fold in on one another and strike other vehicles in the process.<\/p>\n Tractor-trailers are so large and heavy that they require far more stopping distance than other vehicles. When truck drivers don\u2019t allow enough space between themselves and forward vehicles, it can lead to dangerous rear-end accidents.<\/p>\n When an 18-wheeler takes a right turn, they require a considerable amount of space on the road. When truckers fail to account for these wide turns safely, it can lead to accidents involving nearby vehicles.<\/p>\n Intersections are like an accident magnet. When truck drivers fail to account for factors like the following, they can be responsible for a wreck:<\/p>\n Trucks crash in Fontana for a multitude of reasons, but some of the most common involve truck driver negligence and trucking company negligence.<\/p>\n Because they are commercial drivers, truckers are held to more exacting safety rules and regulations, and when they fail to abide by them, the results can prove deadly.

Trucking companies can share fault in the matter, and in certain instances, they can be the primary cause. Trucking companies bear all the following fundamental responsibilities:<\/p>\n Regardless of whether the truck driver or the trucking company is responsible for the truck accident that leaves you injured, a dedicated Fontana truck accident attorney can help establish liability.<\/p>\n The immense impact of truck accidents goes hand-in-hand with often life-changing injuries.
