When a truck accident occurs, the results can be devastating. Truck accidents can cause serious property damage as well as severe injury. The reason for this is the size of the vehicles involved in the accident.
Commercial trucks often weigh over 80,000 lbs when fully loaded, while a small car or truck may weigh approximately 3,000 lbs. When a passenger car or truck collides with a commercial truck, the effects can change the lives of the victims and their families forever.
If you or your loved one has been involved in a truck accident, it is important that you contact an experienced truck accident attorney like Philip R. Brown. A truck accident attorney will help you file your claim.
Truck accidents can be caused by many of the same circumstance that cause car accidents, but there are some unique circumstances that can make truck accident claims more difficult to handle, including:
- Lack of Trucking Experience
- Oversized Truck
- Overloaded Truck
- Driving too many hours without taking a break
- Large blind-Spots (caused by trailers)
