Tractor Trailer/Semi Truck Accidents

Tractor trailer trucks, also known as semi trucks, big rigs and 18-wheelers, are the primary mode of transportation for products across the United States.  Even with the strict regulations imposed by the Federal Government, hundreds of thousands of commercial tractor trailer truck accidents occur annually with many catastrophic, life changing injuries and loss of life.

There are a number of contributing factors in tractor trailer truck accidents, but the most frequent include:

• Inadequate / Poor Safety Inspections
• Mechanical failure
• Unqualified drivers
• Driver Fatigue
• Unrealistic delivery schedules
• Careless Driving (speeding, following too closely, use of cell phone)
• Limited Handling Ability

When tractor trailer trucks are involved in accidents, trucking companies often send representatives to the accident scene. They work hard to control the investigation, police interviews and whatever else they can in order to eliminate or reduce the trucking company’s responsibility—they are not looking out for you.
