Big Truck Accident

Motor vehicle accidents between cars can cause significant personal injury; however, when one or more of the vehicles involved in the accident is a tractor trailer (big-rig truck), the damages can be catastrophic.

Why do big-rig truck accidents happen? Oftentimes, tractor-trailer accidents occur simply due to the nature of a large truck. they cannot accelerate, maneuver, or decelerate the way a passenger car does. Other reasons include:

• Inexperienced Driver

• Distracted Driver

• Tired Driver

• Driver on Drugs or Alcohol

• Lack of Proper Brake Maintenance

• Lack of Proper Safety Devices (reflectors, lights, etc.)

• Speeding

• Overweight Trucks

• Poor Weather Conditions

• Insufficient Federal Safety Inspection
