Commercial Trucks, Semis & 18-wheelers

Accidents involving huge trucks usually result in huge injuries because the sheer mass of the trucks often causes them to keep going even after a collision. This causes more harm and damage and sometimes even results in a multi-car pile-up.

The trucking industry is immense, and vital to our nation’s economy. Trucking companies have assets (and shareholders) to protect from liability, so they have very large insurance policies.

These big policies are vital because trucking companies know that accidents are bound to happen, but they can’t predict whether injuries will be severe or if negligence is a factor. Negligence can stem from inadequate driver training, poorly maintained equipment, insufficiently-secured loads, or driver fatigue.
