How Truck Accidents Differ From Car Accidents

Car Truck Collision Injury Victim Attorneys

Just as large commercial trucks are not the same as cars, trucks accident cases are not the same as car accident cases. When an 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer or semi-truck is involved, a crash is not a typical fender bender. The personal injuries in truck accidents tend to be more serious than those in car accidents, and the laws involved are definitely more complex. Truck accident litigation involves extensive investigation and preparation, and often involves multiple defendants located in multiple states. A lawyer handling this type of case must be familiar with numerous state and federal regulations.

For example, truck drivers are only allowed to drive a certain number of hour per day and per week. Regulations require that reflective tape be placed along the entire side and rear of a tractor trailer. Truck companies must follow certain specific steps in reviewing a driver's qualifications and credentials. Certain maintenance and record keeping requirements also must be strictly obeyed. To effectively handle your representation, your attorney must be aware of all rules and regulations that applied to the truck that caused your accident.
