Being involved in a motor vehicle accident of any kind can be traumatic. But when one or more of the vehicles involved is a commercial truck, tractor trailer, 18-wheeler or semi-trailer truck, the injuries can be catastrophic.

Truck accidents can often be caused by negligent drivers, who are operating on little sleep with specific time incentives to get from point A to point B. This unfortunately incentives truck drivers to take risks that can put other drivers in danger.

In addition to overworking their fleet, companies will often do what they can to minimize the cost of vehicle maintenance and repairs. This can lead to traumatic incidents like brake failure, which can cause catastrophic accidents.

Victims of truck accidents are entitled to pursue Accident Benefits for medical and rehabilitation treatment, as well as income replacement benefits or non- earner benefits. Truck accident victims are often also entitled to pursue tort claims for pain and suffering, income loss, costs of future case, as well as housekeeping needs.
