Automobile and 18 Wheeler Incidents or Crashes

Every year thousands of drivers of cars and big rigs are injured or killed by the careless operations of motor vehicles or big rigs. Drivers of 18 Wheelers and the companies they work for are responsible controlling their big rigs safely and responsibly. While unsafe driving causes many accidents, oversized loads and various other treacherous practices place the public and the truck operators in danger.  Often, accidents are caused by lack of attention, carelessness, or negligence of the trucking company. Eighteen-wheeler incidents present unique issues not necessarily associated with a typical motor vehicle incident. These differences include:

• Greater chance of serious injuries or deaths
• Company negligence in hiring and supervision
• Negligent maintenance of the vehicles
• Unique insurance coverage issues
• Governmental regulation
