Trucking Accidents

Poorly trained truckers in enormous commercial vehicles have been known to collide violently with motorists in smaller conventional vehicles, causing catastrophic, life-changing injuries to their drivers and passengers.

Did you know that every 15 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured in a tractor-trailer accident, also known as 18-wheelers, big rigs, or semi-trucks? In fact, approximately 500,000 trucking accidents occur in the United States each year, with approximately 5,000 resulting in death.

When you’re in an accident with a big rig, things can get a lot more complicated than when you’re in a regular traffic accident. Understanding the most common causes of trucking accidents, the laws that apply, and the relationships between the parties involved (those connected to the truck, trailer, and load) can assist you in determining whether you have a valid personal injury claim following a truck accident.
