Semi Truck, Big Rig and 18 Wheeler Accidents in Irvine

Large trucks, commonly referred to as semi trucks, big rigs and 18 wheelers, are frequently seen on the roads and highways of California. Because an 18 wheeler is larger and heavier than other vehicles on the roadway and because it can take an 18 wheeler much longer to maneuver, the resulting accidents can be far more severe. These large trucks can weigh in excess of 40 tons when fully loaded, in contrast to a passenger vehicle that usually weighs no more than 2 or 3 tons. Big rigs take longer to stop, have larger blind spots and carry larger and heavier cargo than other vehicles. Big rigs carry loads that can scatter debris on the roadway causing accidents and are more likely to turn-over due to their high center of gravity. Free Consultation
