18 Wheeler Accidents

When 18-wheeler trucks and passenger vehicles collide the results are seldom minor and in most cases cause devastating personal injuries or wrongful deaths. There are many causes of 18 wheeler accidents. The causes range from improper loading, insufficient rig maintenance, poor interstate driving conditions and truck driver fatigue. In the year 2000 alone, over 400,000 large trucks were involved in traffic crashes, in which over 5,000 people were killed and an over 100,000 were injured. Needless to say, these statistics are extremely alarming.

The number-one cause of fatal and serious injury trucking crashing is driver error. That means that trucking accidents are primarily liability issues. Those victimized in trucking accidents need skilled truck accident litigators to receive the damages they deserve. In a recent study of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, driving errors were made by almost 40 percent of truck drivers involved in fatal crashes.

If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury or a tragic loss as a result of an accident or collision with a semi tractor trailer, you may be entitled to damages. These damages can include the cost of medical expenses, burial costs, mental anguish, pain and suffering, lost wages, bodily impairment, future damages, future cost and property damage to your vehicle or personal property.
