Accidents
involving 18 wheelers and commercial trucks rarely result in minor
damages. In fact, all too often, 18-wheeler accidents leave victims with
traumatic personal injuries, or worse. An extremely large percentage of
these accidents are caused by something that could have been prevented,
including:
• Negligence or fatigue
• Speeding
• Improperly secured loads
• Substance abuse
The
moment an accident occurs, a flurry of events follow, including the
involvement of insurance companies, trucking corporations and more, all
the while you or your loved ones are reeling from an injury caused by
this unexpected and catastrophic event. Ensuring that you are protected
and well represented following a trucking accident with injury requires
the expertise of an attorney who specializes in this specific type of
litigation.
Commercial trucking and 18-wheeler accidents are unlike other accidents. Firstly, the results are usually far more damaging.
