Types of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are unique. The size and weight difference between a fully loaded commercial truck and a passenger vehicle is over seventy-five thousand pounds. Therefore, truck accidents carry a greater risk for serious injuries and wrongful fatalities in Montgomery County than those in passenger vehicles.
The most common truck accidents are:
- Jackknife accidents. A truck nearly bends in half to form a “V” shape;
- Rear-end accidents. This is a prevalent accident as commercial trucks are heavy and difficult to stop;
- Underride accidents. Underride accidents are one of the most deadly to occupants of a passenger vehicle. These occur when a vehicle driving behind a commercial truck runs into the back of the truck and slides underneath its undercarriage;
- Rollover accidents. A rollover accident is when a truck rolls over onto its side or flips; and
- Blind spot accident. Commercial trucks have blind spots at the truck’s rear and sides, making other vehicles challenging to see and easy to hit.
Liability for Truck Accidents in Montgomery County
Truck driver negligence accounts for nearly forty percent of all truck accidents in the United States. However, truck accidents lend themselves to multi-party liability. They can involve cars, even motorcyclists can be involved in the accident. Any of the following parties, and more, may be liable to some degree for a truck accident:
- The trucking company;
- The manufacturer of trucking equipment or parts;
- The manufacturers of the truck itself;
- A mechanic or maintenance technician;
- A cargo loader;
- A shipper;
- Another driver; or
- A government agency or contractor.
An experienced truck accident attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into your truck accident claim and identify all liable parties for your injuries.
