Tractor-Trailer Truck Accident
Accidents involving tractor-trailers and other large trucks are some of the most horrific accidents that occur on our nation’s highways. Truck accidents almost always result in serious injury or death.
The law does not treat tractor-trailer accidents in the same way it treats ordinary car accidents. The rules and regulations that govern the operation of tractor-trailers and their owners and operators are different.
In addition, these cases are more complex because there is usually a variety of defendants involved, such as the trucking company, the company hiring the truck, the driver, and any other contractors or subcontractors involved. The situation may be further complicated by other factors such as equipment malfunctions, overloading, brake and tire maintenance, trucking regulations, etc. Also, trucking companies have sophisticated insurance carriers and lawyers who will go to work right away to minimize the evidence and thus minimize your claim.
In one complicated case we handled, we had to wade through the intricate worker’s compensation laws to eventually reach settlement with the truck insurance company.
These are just some of the reasons why it is of the utmost importance to hire a firm that has specific experience handling truck accidents. Attorneys who understand the laws and complications.
