Understanding Tractor Trailer Accidents

Accidents involving tractor trailers or other large commercial vehicles are among the most catastrophic on our roads due to the size and weight of these vehicles. When a tractor trailer is involved in a collision, the consequences can be severe and often fatal.

The Complexity of Tractor Trailer Accidents

Tractor trailer accidents are legally complex for several reasons:

• Multiple parties may be liable, including the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, and vehicle manufacturers.
• Regulations governing commercial trucking are extensive and detailed.
• Damages are often significant, given the severity of injuries typically involved.

Immediate Steps to Take Following an Accident

1. Seek immediate medical attention for any injuries.
2. Contact law enforcement to report the accident.
3. Collect as much information as possible from the scene, including driver details, vehicle registrations, and witness contact information.
4. Do not sign any documents or agree to any settlements without consulting an attorney.
