Truck Accidents or accidents involving larger vehicles such as semi-trucks, tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers are some of the most catastrophic of auto accidents. Their size and weight make it more difficult for drivers to stop quickly or make sharp turns, and a minor mistake by a driver can cause serious accidents and injuries.
There are strict regulations within the trucking industry, which hold trucking companies and their drivers to high standards of safety. However, drivers can still engage in unsafe driving practices such as fatigue, distraction and speeding. Other dangerous factors include overloaded trucks, trucking violations and mechanical failures.
Dealing with a truck accident can be much more complex than other automobile accidents. Since the industry is so heavily regulated, trucking companies will invest a lot of resources in fighting claims. An experienced truck accident attorney understands the state and federal laws that pertain to the trucking industry and can gather and present the evidence needed to prove your case.
