An accident with a semi-truck is quite different from an automobile accident involving passenger vehicles and SUVs. A semi-truck can weigh up to 80,000 lbs., whereas an SUV may weigh about 5,000 lbs. and the typical passenger vehicle might weigh 3,000 lbs. Accidents with semis and commercial trucks cause serious damage and are more complex in many ways:
- Severity of damages
- Instances of fatalities
- Magnitude of injuries
- Federal and state regulations
- Number of parties involved
- Number of insurance companies involved
If you have been injured in an accident with a truck it is important that you speak with an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible. Truck accident cases are complex and risky to manage yourself. An experienced truck accident lawyer with experience in negotiation and litigating tractor-trailer accidents is your best chance of recovering the settlement you deserve.
Truck Accident Attorney Helps Determine Who Should Pay
Your truck accident attorney will help to determine who should pay in cases of negligence and violation of federal regulations. The trucking company and its employees are responsible to prevent:
- Driver fatigue
- Excessive speed
- Lane drifting
- Wide angle turns
- Improperly pulling over on the side of the road
- Missing or inadequate reflective markings
All of these things can lead to serious injuries and fatalities. An automobile accident attorney with experience in tractor-trailer accidents will help to determine who should be financially and legally responsible.
