Do you ever feel nervous when driving on the road beside an 18-wheeler truck? It can be hard not to imagine the dangers of something unexpected occurring, such as it swerving into your lane or rolling over. While fortunately the majority of the time there's no need to be scared, auto accidents involving 18-wheelers do happen, and often they result in far more catastrophic damage than typical collisions. If you've been hurt in a large truck accident, the 18-wheeler injury attorney at JW Anderson Law Firm, PLLC is here for you. He will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Large commercial trucks are required to carry a higher level of insurance coverage than standard passenger vehicles. When it comes to paying out to the victim of an 18-wheeler crash, however, the various companies involved may dispute which insurance provider is responsible. Establishing liability ultimately depends on proving negligence, whether on the part of the driver, the trucking company, or some other party. Common factors that contribute to large trucking accidents include driver fatigue or recklessness, substance abuse by the driver, unsecured loads, brake failures or other mechanical problems, and inadequate adherence to safety standards. External factors, such as whiteouts, icy roads, or fog, may also have had an influence, especially considering that commercial trucks are at particular risk in dangerous driving conditions due to their extreme size and weight. Our experienced 18-wheeler injury attorney will establish who is at fault and demonstrate how their failure to exercise reasonable care resulted in your suffering in order to win your case and see your insurance claim granted.
