Big Rig Collisions

Truck accidents are different from car accidents. Commercial trucks are required to follow much more stringent statutes/laws which are implemented for the overall safety of others. The obvious is that trucks are much larger and heavier than cars, which means they can cause more damage when they collide with another vehicle, even at low speeds. As well, trucks have a higher center of gravity than cars, which makes them more likely to overturn in an accident to avoid striking the bumper (shock absorber) of a vehicle and impacting the non-shock resistant cage. Finally, trucks have blind spots around the cab that make it difficult for the driver to see other vehicles. These factors all contribute to the fact that truck accidents are generally more serious than car accidents.

These cases are vastly different from other types of motor vehicle accidents. They often involve multiple parties, complex regulations, and a host of other considerations.
