Oversized Truck Accident Lawyer

Semi-trucks are large, weighing upwards of 80,000 pounds. When they are carrying cargo that extends beyond the bed or weighs more than a standard load, they are considered oversized. Oversized trucks are often preceded and followed by helper vehicles with signs to warn of their presence, which is often seen with large machinery and building supplies.

Collisions with oversized trucks are often deadly due to their increased weight and size. If a victim should survive an oversized truck accident, their physical and mental recovery would likely be long and difficult, and their injuries would likely be life-long and life-changing.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

Oversized Truck Issues

Oversized trucks are large, giving them multiple, large blind spots and making them more difficult to maneuver. When traveling on highways, oversized truck drivers often have the room to negotiate their truck, however, when these trucks enter smaller roadways, safe handling of such a large vehicle becomes much more difficult.

Because of the weight of oversized trucks, they are also much more difficult to stop, both moving forward and backing up. This increased stopping distance puts other motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists at risk when a driver needs to stop quickly.

Finally, truck driving is a difficult occupation and truck drivers spend long hours behind the wheel. This long workday can lead to fatigue, distracted driving, driver error, and speeding too fast for the weight of the truck.

Other causes of oversized truck issues can include:

• Improperly or overloaded loaded cargo
• Defective truck parts
• Poor weather conditions
• Driver inexperience
• Driving under the influence
• Tire blowout
• Brake issues
