Understanding How Trucking Accidents Can Happen

Being in an accident with an 18-wheeler can be one of the most traumatic experiences of your life. Large, fast moving trucks, coupled with high pressure delivery schedules and congested roadways can easily be a recipe for disaster. Even though your passenger vehicle may offer adequate protections for most highway collisions, it may be no match for a direct impact with a tractor-trailer.

Understanding the Complexity of Your Case: Why You Need an Attorney

Accidents involving commercial vehicles are typically more complex than those involving other non-commercial automobiles.

This is due to the fact that liability may extend beyond the actual driver of the 18-wheeler to include:

  • Their employer
  • The owner of the trailer or freight
  • The dispatcher
  • Those responsible for maintenance of the truck/trailer
  • Those responsible for the loading of the truck's cargo

Additionally, these parties may be spread across a wide geographic area, making finding and securing the necessary evidence difficult and cumbersome. Further, the laws regulating commercial vehicles, and their insurance system, are different than for ordinary passenger vehicles. Hiring an attorney to represent you in your trucking accident case can make all the difference between being treated fairly and receiving full compensation and not.
