TRUCK & AUTO ACCIDENTS

It is rare that you drive on any stretch of interstate or highway that you don’t see 18 wheelers and other commercial trucks.  18 wheelers and other large commercial trucks are everywhere and they dominate the interstates and highways due to their size.  Because of a truck’s size and weight, accidents with 18 wheelers and other similar commercial vehicles can lead to serious personal injuries such as brain injuries, burn injuries, neck and back injuries, and sometimes even death.

​

Trucking companies and their insurance companies react quickly after an accident.  Trucking company attorneys often have an accident investigation team on the scene immediately after an accident to prepare a defense against your trucking accident injury claim.  Sometimes 18 wheeler drivers even carry a camera or an accident kit in their truck so they can start taking photos and writing down witness information as soon as the trucking accident occurs.

Physical evidence from an 18 wheeler trucking accident such as skid marks, yaw marks, scuffs, and debris can begin to disappear within hours of a trucking accident.  Weather and cars and trucks driving along that same stretch of road will cause evidence to fade and disappear.
