Truck Accidents

Because of their size and weight, large trucks (also called tractor trailers and 18 wheelers) can cause great damage when they’re involved in an accident. Many times, lives are lost and severe injuries result from truck accidents.

There are many reasons why trucks are dangerous:

• Aggressive drivers
• Unrealistic schedules
• Failure to inspect tires, brakes and lights
• Tailgating
• Illegally long work shifts
• Driver fatigue, boredom and cell phone use
• Failure to install blind spot mirrors to avoid dangerous lane changes
• Jackknifing
• Speeding and ignoring truck speed limits

Truck accident lawsuits are among the most complex. First, they require a thorough knowledge and understanding of federal and state trucking laws and regulations. In addition, sophisticated expert analyses are frequently required to prove fault and damages resulting from a truck accident.
