Jackknife Truck Accident Lawyers serving Stockton

One of the most horrific accidents are those involving a truck that has jackknifed.  The jackknife accident occurs when the trailer of a large truck pivots, crossing into traffic lanes until it forms a "V" shape with the cab of the truck.  This is usually caused when a truck driver suddenly hits their brakes, usually to prevent a rear-end collision with another vehicle.  The momentum of the trailer cannot stop at the same speed as the cab and the result is a jackknife accident.  A jackknife collision is primarily due to the driver's inattention to the road, distraction with a cell phone call or fatigue.  There is always the possibility that the brakes on the truck or trailer had deteriorated or malfunctioned. 

In the Stockton area there are a large number of tractor trailer big-rigs on the highways.  A jackknife collision could involve many vehicles as the jackknife trailer careens across several lanes of traffic, colliding with several vehicles.
