- Truck Accidents
Living and driving in the Dallas area, you may notice an abundance of truck drivers while on your commute to work or driving around town. Unsurprisingly, truck wrecks account for a large portion of all motor vehicle wrecks in the nation. These vehicles are much larger than standard cars, have higher ground clearance, and have a higher risk of catastrophic damage than a typical collision with another car. If you or a loved one have been injured in a truck wreck, you may need several months of rehabilitation to recover. In some cases, you could be permanently disabled or in some cases you can be killed from these serious collisions. The team at Crain Brogdon LLP in Dallas, TX, is here to offer guidance to those who have been physically or emotionally harmed after a truck wreck.
Large Trucks Can Cause More Significant Damage
Commercial truck drivers transport goods between destinations. This line of work keeps the supply chain moving and is an essential part of our economy. Unfortunately, though, there is a significant amount of risk involved in this career. The vehicles are much larger than standard cars and require more distance to maneuver and stop. Trucking companies and their drivers are responsible in maintaining the vehicle and safely operating it. If the truck is not properly maintained, it could risk injuring the driver or other individuals on the road. In addition to properly maintaining their vehicles, truckers are responsible for practicing safe driving practices on the road.
Staying Safe On The Road
If you have been involved in a wreck with a big rig vehicle, the team at Crain Brogdon LLP can help determine who is at fault. If it is found that the vehicle was not properly maintained or the driver was careless, you may be eligible for compensation. Weather and road conditions also play a role in truck wrecks as well. Remember that a large vehicle requires more time to stop the vehicle, and poor road conditions can pose a serious threat to drivers. When you are on the road, remember to give large trucks adequate space and be aware of your surroundings.
Common Injuries That Can Result From A Truck Wreck
Vehicle collisions can lead to serious injuries for passengers and drivers alike. If you have been involved in an accident with a large truck, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Your injuries can range from minor physical injuries, like cuts and scrapes, to more serious harm, like burns, broken bones, and organ damage. In some cases, these accidents can result in death. We can help you claim a wrongful death case if a loved one was killed from a truck wreck.
