Trust Us to Handle the Following Types of Truck Accidents:
Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous scenarios involving trucks. Also called “overturn,” this type is characterized by the truck overturning onto its side or roof. Understanding the dynamics and causes behind rollover accidents is crucial for comprehending their severity and devising preventive measures.
Jackknife Accidents
Jackknife accidents occur when a truck’s trailer swings outward, forming a 90-degree angle with the cab. These incidents often result in complex collisions and pose unique challenges for accident reconstruction.
Underride Accidents
Underride accidents involve a smaller vehicle sliding beneath the rear or side of a truck. This type of collision can have catastrophic consequences for the smaller vehicle’s passenger due to the sheer size of the truck.
While the regulations now address rear guards, the Department of Transportation does not currently enforce the installation of guards on the sides of trucks, a measure proven effective in averting side underride crashes.
Head-On Collisions
The stakes are high in a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler. Beyond the sheer impact, understanding the dynamics of these collisions becomes a legal imperative. Also called frontal impact collisions, commonly known as head-on collisions, occur when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide.
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions occur when one vehicle collides with the rear of another. For truck accidents, that can mean one truck rear-ends a small vehicle, another truck, or is rear-ended itself. No matter what size or type of vehicle is involved, the challenges stemming from these accidents extend beyond mere physical damage, delving into the complexities of fault determination, often entwined with issues of negligence.
Hazardous Materials Spills
When a truck carrying hazardous materials gets in an accident, the consequences go beyond the immediate collision. HAZMAT encompasses a wide range of substances that can pose risks to human health, safety, and the environment when not handled or transported correctly. Navigating the aftermath of hazardous material spills requires a specialized approach, combining expertise in trucking regulations and environmental considerations. The potential dangers posed by spilled hazardous materials add an extra layer of complexity, demanding a thorough understanding of safety protocols, cleanup procedures, and legal ramifications.
