Los Angeles Big Rig Accident Lawyer

"Big rig" is another term for a large commercial truck that may be used to carry cargo to and from different destinations throughout the U.S. This type of vehicle is typically made up by a tractor, which houses the engine and driver, and a trailer, which carries the cargo. Some big rigs will have more than one trailer, depending on the size, weight and type of cargo. A big rig typically weighs somewhere between 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, although the weight may exceed this in some cases. Under California law, a big rig may be up to 65 or 75 feet in length, although certain roads may prohibit travel by vehicles above a certain weight and size.

Due to the large size and weight of a typical big rig, truck accidents of this kind are often very serious.
