Crashes involving cars and trucks slamming into each other can often have deadly results especially for the car occupants. Trucks, also known as tractor-trailers, semis or big rigs, are much larger than most automobiles, and their size can have a devastating effect on impact. When a semi-truck is involved in a crash, the fault may lie with the driver, the trucking company, or the business that hired the truck to haul their load. In other instances, the road on which the accident occurs may be unsafe for trucks and cars to travel together, in which case a municipal or federal entity may be to blame. For those that are not killed in truck vs. car crashes, injuries can include paralysis, broken bones and burns. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck-related crash in Los Angeles, please call 1-800-ALAWPRO now, or to learn more about your legal rights visit www.alawpro.com.

Two fatal truck crashes happened within a week in So Cal, and in each one male died and two people were injured. In Pacific Palisades, two trucks crashed on the PCH during the morning.

The driver of the car died when his car and a big rig crashed in mid-afternoon leading to a diesel oil spill. The truck driver and a passenger in the car had injuries requiring hospitalization.

While any vehicle has the potential to overturn in an accident, SUV’s and vans are often the automotive culprit in rollover crashes, due to their higher center of gravity. When the design or assembly of a sports utility vehicle, van or minivan makes it an inherently dangerous vehicle, product liability is an immediate issue. Paralysis from spinal cord injury is an unfortunate potential outcome during a roll over accident, since the violent nature of rollover crashes wreaks havoc on victims’ bodies. Within a week, two multi-million dollar verdicts regarding CA rollover accidents resulting in paralysis were reached against automakers, and another deadly SUV rollover claimed the life of a teenager. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO if you or a loved one has been involved in a roll over accident in Southern California today.

Here is an overview of the 3 rollover accidents mentioned above:

1. In Los Angeles Jaguar Land Rover must pay $21.1 million to the victim of a 2003 roll over crash. The man was driving a Land Rover Discovery that rolled over multiple times after he was sideswiped on the 118 freeway. His arms and legs are paralyzed as a result of the spinal injury incurred during accident, and the victim requires constant care. The trial found that two elements of the Discovery’s design were at fault for the quadriplegic injuries: (1) the SUV’s high center of gravity, and (2) the roof, which was not strong enough to resist the impact and collapsed too easily.

2. In Oakland, CA, Ford Motor Company has been ordered to pay $18 million to a man who was paralyzed in when the Ford passenger van in which he was riding rolled over. The man, a musician, is now a quadriplegic requiring 24-hour care for life. In icy conditions, the van ran off a freeway and rolled. The seat the victim was sitting in came loose due to a defective latching mechanism, and he struck the roof with his head.

3. An SUV carrying 8 teenagers to prom overturned on the 110 in LA. One of the occupants died, and the 7 others were hospitalized and released. The dead victim may have been thrown from the automobile. It appeared that the driver of the SUV was swerving to avoid a vehicle during a lane change.

Car accidents happen in Southern California, and when children are victims of injury or death, the crashes seem even worse. As passengers in vehicles, pedestrians or bicycle riders, kids are at risk on Orange County roads.

Though a lawyer cannot repair your child’s injuries or undo a deadly accident, an attorney can help parents learn about their rights and understand who is at fault. Please call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to an Orange County accident lawyer at no cost.

Two OC crashes involving children happened during Memorial Day weekend: one in Lake Forest that killed a girl, and another in Santa Ana that left a boy in critical condition. The Lake Forest victim was a 9-year old passenger in her aunt’s SUV. Apparently the Chevy Tahoe was clipped by a BMW during a lane change, which sent the SUV spinning into a light pole. The girl was thrown from the vehicle into the light pole, killing her instantly. The Santa Ana crash happened in the early evening when the boy was struck by a minivan. The 8-year-old was playing with friends in his neighborhood when he walked onto the street and the van hit him. He is hospitalized in critical condition.

A new report by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) states that most truck-related crashes in California are the fault of passenger vehicles, such as cars, SUV’s, vans or buses. According to the report, there were more than 7,200 California accidents involving big rigs in 2008, and over 50% were caused by unsafe maneuvers by passenger vehicle drivers. Still, there are plenty of reports of tractor-trailer accidents in which the big rig was reportedly speeding or disobeying other traffic laws. For those who are not killed upon impact, one of the most common injuries suffered in a truck on car collision is brain or spinal damage. If you’ve been involved in a crash with a truck in So Cal, call talk to a lawyer for free now by calling 1-800-ALAWPRO.

A big rig crashed through a center divide on the Riverside Freeway in Corona, hitting two cars, a Honda Accord and a Toyota Corolla. Thankfully, the car victims suffered moderate injuries. Suddenly slowing traffic apparently caused the truck to veer into the concrete center of the road. In Illinois a $24 million settlement has been reached in a suit against a trucking company and other entities for a big rig accident that killed two people and seriously injured another. The driver, the freight broker and the trucking company were all named in the suit.

In the current economy, people are looking for ways to save. One solution drivers are using is trading in their midsize, full-size or larger vehicles for popular mini cars. While mini cars may be cheaper and less expensive on gas, are they really a better choice for safety? It appears that the answer is no. A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that minicars fare more poorly than larger cars in head on crashes. Analysts say a minicar can be a deadly choice compared to a large vehicle due to their smaller size and smaller weight. Have you or someone close to you been involved in a crash in a minicar in Southern Cal? Then call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to a lawyer for free.

The IIHS report involved three different mini car models: the Smart Fortwo, Toyota Yaris and the Honda Fit. In the experiment, they crashed the mini car with a midsized model by the same makers, with each car traveling 40 miles per hour. As the cars collided head on in an 80 mph crash, the smaller minicar occupants, crash test dummies “fared poorly.” Seemingly, size was the overwhelming factor in the results. Had larger vehicles impacted the mini cars, the results might have been worse. Injuries incurred from head on car crashes include brain and spinal injuries, neck and back injuries, broken bones, paralysis and
