Big rigs, also known as tractor-trailers or semi-trucks, are involved in numerous collisions each year in California, often resulting in serious injuries and even fatalities. The sheer size and weight of these vehicles make them more difficult to maneuver and stop compared to other vehicles, therefore, increasing the risk of accidents. Factors such as driver fatigue, speeding, and distracted driving further contribute to the occurrence of big rig accidents in California. Both truck drivers and other motorists must exercise caution and adhere to traffic laws to prevent these tragic incidents on the roads.
