18 Wheeler Accidents
Accidents involving 18 wheelers can be very severe due to the size of the 18 wheelers and the difficulty they have in slowing, stopping or in otherwise evading an accident. Lawsuits involving tractor-trailers can be complicated because the industry is so heavily regulated. In order to properly pursue a claim on a trucking accident, the attorney must have a good understanding of the regulations and laws affecting the trucking industry. These would include driver fatigue, unqualified drivers, improper or defective equipment and negligent hiring or retention of drivers to name but a few. Another factor which complicates 18 wheeler accidents is the extent of injuries. In most 18 wheeler accidents the injured parties usually suffer from spinal cord injuries, brain damage and wrongful death due to the force of the impact.
