Tractor-Trailer Accident Info
Every year, large commercial trucks, including semis and big rigs, are involved in thousands of vehicle accidents, leaving victims severely injured due to the violent and destructive nature of such accidents. Trucks are larger and heavier than almost every other vehicle on the road. As such, when another car, like a small passenger vehicle, is involved in an accident with a truck, those in the passenger vehicle can suffer catastrophic and fatal injuries. Frequently, a truck and its driver will suffer little damage from the accident due to the large size and heavy-weight of the vehicle.
Because of the dangerous nature of tractor trailers, truck drivers and trucking companies must obey strict regulations on their operation of the vehicle, length of time behind the wheel, and maintenance. These measures were created to prevent accidents that occur due to fatigue, negligence, and improper upkeep of the vehicle and its cargo. However, many drivers and companies choose to disobey these rules, putting other drivers at risk for a devastating accident.

Why are Big Rigs So Dangerous?
Car accidents can be devastating, but those involving semi-trucks are often far more severe due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. Big rigs can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, making any collision with a passenger vehicle extremely dangerous. The smaller car and its occupants typically suffer the brunt of the impact. Truck accidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities, especially when high speeds or poor weather conditions are involved.
Several factors make truck accidents even more hazardous
Improperly loaded or overweight cargo can shift during transport, causing the driver to lose control or creating road hazards if it spills. Additionally, trucks are prone to jackknife accidents, where the trailer swings out and crashes into nearby vehicles or blocks the roadway. In worst-case scenarios, a trailer can detach completely, becoming an out-of-control threat. These unique dangers make truck accidents particularly complex and often require detailed investigations to determine liability.
