Tractor Trailer Accidents
Tractor trailer accidents involve 18-wheelers, tanker trucks, or similar commercial vehicles. Crashes involving 18-wheelers are often catastrophic because of the massive weight of the commercial vehicles. Trucking companies are subject to extensive safety regulations, making these types of crashes far more complex than a typical car accident.
Tractor Trailer Accidents may give rise to lawsuits when they involve:
- Violations of the Regulations (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations)
- Fatigued Drivers/Violation of Hours of Service Requirements
- Forced Dispatch
- Negligent Hiring of Unsafe Drivers
- Negligent Retention of Unsafe Drivers
- Failure to Maintain Equipment
- Unsafe Equipment
- Overloaded Vehicles
- Improperly Loaded Vehicles
