Semi-truck accidents • Truck-trailer disconnect accidents
If a heavy truck (18-wheeler, semi, tractor-trailer) crashes into a car, SUV, or motorcycle, the injuries are nearly always catastrophic. When the victims are left with lifelong spinal cord injuries (including paraplegia and quadriplegia), brain injuries, or amputations, make sure the injured persons have a truck accident lawyer with experience handling truck accident investigations and insurance claims.
Recovering from a truck accident takes time and money. Often the injured victims never recover fully, and need substantial resources to get their lives back in order. Expenses could include compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, attendant care, job retraining, and pain and suffering.
Trucking accidents can be caused by a number of factors. When investigating a semi-truck accident, it is important to ask the right questions:
- Was the driver fatigued? Did the driver have prior accidents, speeding tickets or a DUI charge?
- Was the company negligent in the hiring and retention of drivers?
- What were the trucking company’s safety policies and training policies?
- What logbook requirements did the company have?
- Were the driver logs falsified?
- Were defective tires or a defective trailer hitch responsible for the accident? (In trailer-disconnect accidents, a trailer can go completely out of control at high speeds.)
