Rear-End Truck Accidents

in California

In rear-end collisions, it's often the occupants of the smaller vehicle who sustain serious injuries, while the truck driver typically remains unharmed.

The majority of injuries are sustained by the other vehicle’s driver and passengers.

A fully loaded big rig can weigh up to 80,000 lbs, while the average passenger vehicle weighs about 4,156 lbs. The impact of such a massive truck can severely damage the smaller vehicle, often leading to critical or fatal injuries for its occupants.

What leads to rear-end truck accidents?

Various factors can contribute to these accidents:

  • Distracted driving: Truck drivers engaged in activities like texting or eating may fail to notice stopped traffic, resulting in catastrophic consequences.
  • Impairment: Unfortunately, some truck drivers may consume drugs or alcohol while on duty, greatly impairing their judgment and reaction times.
  • Fatigue: Long hours on the road can result in driver exhaustion, especially for those covering long distances, increasing the likelihood of dangerous mistakes.
  • Excessive speed: Driving above the speed limit or too quickly for road conditions can prevent a driver from stopping in time to avoid a collision.
  • Slippery conditions: Rainy weather, common in California, necessitates that drivers adjust their speed; failing to do so can lead to rear-end collisions.
  • Brake failure: Mechanical issues, especially with braking systems, can result in disastrous outcomes if a truck is unable to stop during an emergency.
