Semi tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles pose a special risk to those traveling in private passenger vehicles. The sheer size and weight of a semi creates not only a risk that an accident will occur, but it increases the risk of injury once an accident occurs. With so much commercial traffic passing through our area on I-75, I-71 and I-275, and such dangerous stretches as the cut-in-the-hill, drivers in our area need to contend with a high volume of commercial traffic.
A semi can weigh 80,000 pounds. That weight makes it more difficult for a truck driver to be able to make his or her vehicle respond to situations that call for immediate action such as a lane change or braking. Maintaining sufficient control of the vehicle is the key to safe operation.
When trucking accidents do occur, that same size and weight that can increase the likelihood of an accident occurring can greatly increase the severity of the injuries that accident victims suffer. Passenger cars can offer little in the way of protection when a semi is involved in an accident.
With trucking accidents resulting in such severe injuries and death, it is especially important that you immediately secure the representation of an attorney who has experience in dealing with these types of cases. Be aware that trucking accident cases can be complex and require thorough investigations. The insurance companies that offer coverage to trucking companies will begin building their defense as soon as possible after an accident. You should do the same.
