Truck Accident Attorneys

Truck accident lawsuits tend to be more complex than those for automobile accidents. There are several reasons for this. Specific state and federal laws and entities regulate trucking companies. Liable parties may also include the trucking company, its management, suppliers and insurance providers, and the truck owner in addition to the driver if they are not the same.

Other names for large trucks include:

  • Big rigs
  • 18 wheelers
  • Semi-trucks
  • Semi’s
  • Tractor trailers

However, because of the size of large trucks and demands on the truck drivers, there are additional potential accident causes, such as:

  • Lack of driver experience
  • Improper training
  • Oversized or overloaded trucks
  • Large blind spots caused by trailers
  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Drugs and alcohol
  • Tractor Trailer Underride Accidents
  • Safety rule violations

Because of the size of trucks, accidents can result in catastrophic injury or death. Large portions of these are the result of rollover accidents. Car passengers and drivers involved in truck accidents tend to suffer most of the fatalities and serious injuries. Of those injured in a truck accident, a full third suffer serious injuries such as loss of a limb, severe burns, or traumatic brain injury.

The trucking companies and their insurance companies tend to have substantial legal resources and competent, aggressive legal representation. If you or your loved one was injured or killed in an accident involving a truck, it would be prudent to consult with a truck accident lawyer with experience in these often complex cases.
