Carabin Shaw Law Firm Has Your San Antonio Truck Accident Lawyers

If you have driven anywhere in San Antonio on its vast highway systems, you have most likely noticed the increased amount of 18-wheeler trucks on the road. This city on the rise is accompanied by more construction projects and a higher demand for goods, resulting in an influx of large commercial trucks on the road. Of course, these massive vehicles can be imposing, aggravating and dangerous, even deadly. If you have been injured by a truck driver, contact our San Antonio 18 wheeler crash lawyer to help you recover damages after the accident.

It is no secret that 18-wheeler trucks massively outsize any other vehicle on the road. The average length of an 18-wheeler truck can vary depending on the cab and trailer but the typical length is 70-80 feet and is a heavy 80,000 pounds. An average car is roughly 14-20 feet long and weighs about 4,000 pounds. That is about a 40 ton to 2 ton ratio.

That difference can spell catastrophe in the unfortunate event that you are struck by a large commercial vehicle. There may be a slightly better advantage if you drive a truck or an SUV, but the difference in weight and size is still far too great to make a significant difference. If you have suffered in a trucking accident, Carabin Shaw has your San Antonio truck accident lawyers on standby 24/7 ready to take action on your behalf.

Because of the massive size difference in vehicles, serious injury or death is typical as a result of being in a trucking accident. Most of the time, the person who is seriously injured or dies as a result of these accidents is someone who was in the smaller vehicle, not in the large commercial truck. Typical injuries sustained in trucking accidents are abdominal injuries, amputations, broken bones, burns, closed head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, cuts and lacerations, spinal cord injuries, sprains and joint injuries and whiplash. Truthfully, there are countless numbers of ways that a victim can sustain injuries in a trucking accident and end up paying an accompanying variety of costly treatments.
