Understanding Commercial Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents cause some of the most severe auto accident injuries. A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh 80,000 pounds — 20-30 times the weight of a passenger car. This size disparity means passenger vehicle occupants bear the overwhelming majority of injuries and fatalities. Common causes include driver fatigue, improperly secured loads, brake failure, and blind spot accidents. Truck accident claims involve complex regulations (FMCSA) and multiple potentially liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, manufacturer).
