Truck Accidents

A collision with a large truck or tractor-trailer is one of the most terrifying experiences that most automobile drivers will ever have. A collision between an automobile and a large truck or tractor-trailer frequently results in serious injury or death. Unfortunately, these serious collisions occur much too frequently on our roads and interstates.

Many of the collisions between automobiles and large trucks or tractor-trailers are caused by driver fatigue or improper maintenance of the truck. Federal Laws mandate specific guidelines concerning driving time and inspection of large trucks and tractor-trailers. Unfortunately, the drivers and owners of large trucks and tractor-trailers do not always abide by those requirements. Their failure to do so is frequently found to be a contributing factor to collisions involving automobiles.

Drivers and occupants of automobiles frequently suffer significant injuries or death as a result of collisions with large trucks or tractor-trailers. Injuries often include significant bone fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries and permanent scarring. Those injuries often require extensive medical care and treatment, and cause significant financial losses and burdens to the injured party and their families.

Tractor-trailer accidents often present unique and complicated questions concerning insurance coverage. Insurance companies aggressively investigate and defend against claims made by a person injured in a tractor-trailer accident. An experienced attorney will be able to anticipate these insurance practices and take measures to eliminate or minimize their effectiveness.
