Testimonials
"Jackson & Wilson
came highly recommended to us from a Superior Court Judge who is a good
friend of ours. We were pleased with both the high level of
professionalism and the constant concern for our best interest. We were
always kept well informed of the status of our case. We feel highly
confident in referring Jackson & Wilson to others."
-- Mr. Chris B (Local contractor and Laguna Niguel family man)
"Your firm helped me
through one of the most difficult time of my life. You were all so
gracious about any questions I had. The speed with which you brought my
legal case to a fair and fast conclusion was so appreciated and I am
sure I would not be in the position I am in if you hadn’t resolved it
and got the monetary help for me."
-- Ms. Elaine A. (Retired and active senior citizen)

Over the
years, we've represented too many clients and families involved in
large truck accidents.
In 2003,
there were 58,512 total vehicle accidents involved in fatal crashes
in the U.S. (NCSA). 4,669 were large trucks involved in
fatal truck accidents.
Large trucks are more likely to be involved in a fatal multi-vehicle crash than are passenger vehicles. Most fatal truck accidents occurred in rural areas (68 percent) during the daytime (66 percent) and on weekdays (78 percent).
Only 1 percent of fatal truck accidents were DUI-related on the part of the truck driver compared to other types of fatal crashes. Higher DUI occurrences are 22 percent for drivers of passenger vehicles and light trucks and 29 percent for motorcyclists.
About 27 percent of all large truck drivers involved in fatal truck accidents had at least one prior speeding conviction compared to 19 percent of the passenger vehicle drivers involved in fatal crashes.
California had the most with 5,725 total fatal vehicle crashes but Texas had the most fatal truck accidents with 438.
Furthermore, large trucks accounted for 9 percent of the vehicles in fatal crashes, but only 4 percent of the vehicles involved in injury and property-damage-only crashes. Of the 4,898 large trucks involved in fatal crashes, 76 percent were combination trucks.
Regardless of crash severity, the majority of vehicles in single and two-vehicle crashes were going straight prior to the crash.
The majority of persons killed or injured in traffic crashes were drivers (65 percent), followed by passengers (31 percent), pedestrians (3 percent), and pedal cyclists (2 percent).
In 2003, the initial point of impact at time of collision happened 2,354 times (50 percent) in the front of vehicle; compared to 382 times on the left side, 188 times on the right side, and 720 times in the rear.
In 2003, 608 large trucks were involved in fatal truck accidents causes by rollovers.
