Lawndale Truck Accident Lawyers

It’s a busy rush hour commute on the 405, and though the traffic is dense, you’re moving at a steady clip. Suddenly, traffic in front of you comes to a complete halt. You’re alert and you react in time to avoid hitting the car in front of you. Unfortunately, the trucker behind you didn’t take into consideration appropriate car length and stopping distance in order for his 18-wheeler to come to a complete stop safely. He rams into the back of your sedan, totaling the rear-end of the car, and giving you severe whiplash. Your best move is to call Lawndale truck accident lawyers with Ellis Law as soon as you are able. We can help you fight for the compensation that you deserve.  

Truckers must obey the rules of the road

All motorists are required to follow the rules of the road, but truck drivers need to be extra careful. Heavy Mack trucks have a lot of additional kinetic energy due to their weight. This means the driver needs to put a large buffer area between his truck and the car in front of him, in case he has to slam on the brakes. Eighteen wheelers also have huge blind spots, which means the operator must check a variety of mirrors before making a lane change. Failure to do so could lead to an innocent motorist getting forced off the road. Though most truckers are responsible professionals, some try to earn more cash by logging extra hours on the road, and others drive aggressively to meet tough delivery times.
