Injured in a semi-truck accident? Our Pennsylvania lawyers can help!Large truck* accidents can be deadly as they often involve semi trucks, or 18-wheelers, and smaller vehicles. This is especially true for commercial vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds. Over the past 20 years, semi truck travel has more than doubled. Semi trucks -- due to their size, weight, and amount of travel -- contribute to the occurrence and consequences of traffic crashes. Unfortunately, motorists that share the highway with 18 wheelers are at a serious disadvantage in the event of an accident. In crashes involving tractor trailer trucks, car occupants -- usually the driver -- sustain nearly 80% of the fatal injuries. Truck drivers may also be at risk for injuryTruck drivers may also be injured if a driver of a car is engaged in reckless or aggressive behaviors. Because of the size of their trucks, truck drivers are not able to maneuver or stop as quickly as drivers of other vehicles. Truckers are also at danger if their truck has defective parts such as tires, brakes, or other equipment. Injured in a car accident?
