What are Big-Rigs?

Tractor trailer trucks are often referred to as "Big-Rigs".  This term is very common in certain parts of the country.  A big rig generally refers to both the truck as well as the trailer portion which contains all of the cargo.  Additionally, there is no main brand of truck which is referred to as a Big-Rig, rather it is a term used for all types of tractor-trailer trucks or 18-Wheelers.

Big Rig Accidents Are Generally Fatal For Other Motor Vehicle Drivers

In Los Angeles, as well as all throughout California, Big Rigs and their respective truck drivers are put to the test every day.  Each day they drive hundreds of miles carrying hundreds of pounds of cargo, such as heavy sheet metal to refrigerated goods.  When Big Rigs are involved in accidents, they usually run over other smaller motor, through other vehicles or Big-Rigs may jack-knife causing multiple vehicles to pile-up behind them shutting down an entire roadway or freeway.

If Big-Rigs are carrying hazardous or flammable materials or liquids, the extent of the injuries to both the big-rig driver and the other motor vehicle drivers on the road (and any nearby pedestrians) may be serious or even fatal.  The types of injuries someone may be suffering from may include broken bones, head injuries, brain damage or even death.
