| After a San Diego Truck Accident |
| Posted By San Diego Truck Accident Attorney |
|
After you have been involved in a truck accident, you should first ensure that you and any other individuals who could have been hurt receive the proper medical care. After you have received necessary medical attention, it is important that you are able to get the information that you need, such as:
- Names of all involved
- Insurance information of all involved
- Phone numbers of all involved
If you are able to take photographs of the damage, tire marks on the road or any other evidence, that can also be helpful in the future.

| Common Truck Accident Causes - Rollover Accidents |
| Posted By San Diego Truck Accident Attorney |
|
Trucks are much higher and heavier than your average passenger vehicle. This great weight combined with the height of the trailer can cause maneuverability issues that result in dangerous tipping and even rollovers.
Many large trucks/semis/18 wheelers/tractor trailers weigh over 10,000 pounds and even upwards of 80,000 pounds, depending upon the vehicle and the load. If that large amount of vehicle gets out of control due to driver error or negligence, it can result in a devastating injury-causing accident.
Rollover accidents are usually caused when the truck driver loses control of his or her vehicle and the truck begins to slide to one side. Once the vehicle begins tipping to the side, it takes only a small additional effort to cause the rollover. For example, if a truck driver takes a corner too quickly, catching the curb can cause a rollover.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a rollover accident, please don't hesitate to contact a San Diego truck accident lawyer at the Zalkin Law Firm. An experienced attorney could be able to help you recover compensation for your injuries. |

| Traumatic Brain Injury |

Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can be very serious. It is a common injury resulting from car or truck crashes. If the victim of an accident is struck violently or receives some sudden or forceful impact to the head, it can cause brain tissue injury, bleeding, swelling and other injuries. TBI can require surgery to correct and can even result in death.
The more severe the head injury is, the more treatment and corrective surgeries can generally be expected. In some cases, surgeons will insert a device designed to take pressure off the brain. These surgeries can be extremely expensive and recuperating from TBI and TBI surgery can require that the victim stop working.

| Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) |
| Posted By San Diego Truck Accident Attorney |
|
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration was established within the United States Department of Transportation in January of 2000 to help ensure safety and prevent accidents, injuries and deaths caused by or involving commercial trucks.
According to the FMCSA, preliminary results for California's 2008 crash facts indicate that over 3,000 large trucks were involved in injury crashes. A collision between a large commercial truck and a smaller passenger vehicle can be devastating and can result in severe or catastrophic injury and even death.
The FMCSA has found that as of April 2009, almost every major trucking company in the United States was in violation of at least one of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Violations of this nature could be very dangerous and could even result in accidents and deaths.
If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident with a large truck, semi, 18 wheeler or tractor trailer, please contact a San Diego truck accident lawyer at the Zalkin Law Firm today to discuss your legal options. |
