Passenger vehicle occupants are at a disproportionate risk when it comes to truck accidents. This is largely due to the fact that semi-trucks, big rigs, 18-wheelers, and other large transport vehicles weigh as much as 20 to 30 times what a conventional passenger vehicle weighs. Moreover, these vehicles are often heavily loaded, occasionally with hazardous cargo.
If a truck is improperly loaded, or if the vehicle has not been correctly inspected and maintained, other drivers are compromised. Truck drivers also jeopardize others when they drive recklessly, use drugs including some prescription drugs, drink and drive, text behind the wheel, or skip mandatory rest breaks and feel tired while driving.
If you are the victim of a trucking accident, you may be entitled to compensation. You do not have to face this on your own.
