Types Of Trucking Accidents

Whether you are a truck driver or a car driver,
you should always be aware of all the dangers of
the road. Probably the worst type of accident you
can find yourself in is the one involving a
commercial truck. There are many commercial
trucks on the roads, and they are a vital part of
the countrys economy. It is important to know
how to properly share the road with them, and how
to avoid getting caught in an accident. However,
accidents occur on a daily basis and those that
are unlucky end up paying the ultimate price.

Here are some different types of trucking
accidents that occur every day

18-Wheeler Accidents
The most dangerous accidents are those involving
an 18-wheeler. The sheer size of those trucks
makes them lethal. If any motor vehicle comes in
direct collision with an 18-wheeler, the
consequences will be deadly. These types of
trucks are hard to maneuver. They take a longer
time to slow down and come to a complete stop. If
you are sharing a road with one of them, be sure
to give them enough space and drive safely around
them. If you get involved in an accident, contact
attorneys and schedule a consultation. You may be
able to recover some of your damages if it turns
out that you were not responsible for causing the
accident.

• Rollover
• Accidents

• Loading
• Accidents

• Due to the weight of their trailers, most trucks
  risk rolling over after any sudden movement on
  the road. When a rollover happens, every vehicle
  around the truck is in danger. Such accidents
  usually end up with many injured individuals.

• Every large and long truck poses a danger of
  jackknifing. If and when that happens, every
  vehicle in the near vicinity is in danger of
  becoming a part of the multi-vehicle accident.
  Such accidents usually involve multiple people,
  and injuries are imminent.

• More than half of all accidents involving trucks
  happen during loading and unloading cargo.
  However, loads tend to fall off of a commercial
  truck and result in an accident on the freeway.
• Every truck driver should make sure that the load
  is safely attached before hauling it on the
  freeway.

Direct (head-on) Collisions
Most truck drivers are exposed to fatigue and
exhaustion as a result of long driving. As a
result, they may end up crossing the center line
and going into the other lane. A direct collision
with another vehicle will most likely cause death
to at least one person. In the best case
scenario, the parties involved will end up with
severe and life-changing injuries.
