Why truck accidents are different from car accidents
Crashes involving tractor-trailers are rarely minor. A fully loaded truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, making even low-speed collisions catastrophic. Victims often suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and life-changing complications.
Truck accidents also involve complex liability issues. More than one party may be responsible, including the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, and maintenance providers. Learn more in our FAQ on why liability may fall on multiple parties.
