The California Vehicle Code statutes are meant to prevent 18-wheeler truck drivers from falling asleep at the wheel, texting or performing other activities when they should be attentive to driving conditions, but truck drivers become distracted when they fill out forms while driving, play with the radio, use their cell phones to call their destinations or loved ones, talk to passengers, bend down to pick up something that’s fallen off a seat, or eat while they drive so they don’t lose time. When they perform these or any number of other tasks while driving, they become inattentive to the road, and truck accidents occur.
18-Wheeler truck accidents also occur when truck drivers fail to heed weather reports or continue to drive during windy conditions or other types of dangerous weather when they should be pulling off the road rather than risking their own lives and that of other drivers on the road.
One of the biggest troubles with 18-wheeler accidents in San Diego, is that when an 18-wheeler truck hits anything smaller like a hybrid or other compact auto gets in the way, more often than not, the smaller and more lightweight car is going to be crushed or burn in a catastrophic accident involving sometimes horrendous injuries and or the death of any passengers, their children and their pets. If the 18-wheeler truck does not jackknife, it may rollover and crush any other vehicles in its path.

You Get Better And Heal From Your Injuries, We’ll Tackle All The Rest
The most important thing for you to do after being the victim of an 18-wheeler truck accident caused by an negligent or careless driver or one where the other driver was inattentive, reckless or distracted, is to get the best possible treatment you need for your injuries.
Depending on the level of impact to you or your vehicle, which in these accidents is usually extensive, you’re almost certainly in a great deal of pain, may still be off work, and may be worried how you’re going to pay for medical treatment if you have no health insurance.
We can safely guide you through your 18-wheeler truck accident, deal with the insurance adjusters and refer you to doctors who will wait to be paid out of any settlement for the treatment they provide to you.
An Insurance Company Will Do Everything They Can, To Pay You As Little As Possible
We’ll prevent you from falling into traps set by insurance company adjusters who may either be ignoring you or calling you constantly, trying to trip you up by taking a recorded statement to either pin the blame on you or to get you to say you’re fine before you can even identify all your aches and pains.
Despite their warm and friendly image on TV, insurance companies can be difficult at best to deal with and the insurance adjusters in San Diego are particularly bad. An insurance company will often suggest that your claim has little or no value by using any admissions you made in your recorded statement against you or by using pre-existing medical conditions against you.
