18 Wheeler Accidents

Were you hurt in an accident with a tractor trailer? When 80-feet long, 40-ton tractor trailers share America’s roadways with two- and three-ton cars, cars and their occupants do not stand much of a chance when an accident occurs. According to the federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, about 85,000 people are injured and about 5,000 people are killed annually in the U.S. due to 18-wheeler accidents. Damage to vehicles involved in trucking accidents is almost always severe.

Large trucking companies have larger insurance policies than car owners because trucking accidents almost always result in more costly damages. Insurance companies also know the most frequently occurring causes of trucking accidents and have encouraged training program to train truck drivers to avoid them. Although insurance policies are a good thing, fighting insurers can be a formidable task to take on alone. The truck driver may have one insurance policy; there may be a second company providing insurance for the trailer, and a third for the freight. Each insurance company may deny responsibility, shifting the blame to the others, effectively preventing you from receiving appropriate compensation. The insurance adjuster’s job is to pay you as little as possible.
