Large commercial trucks can be difficult to control and maneuver due to their size and weight, and truck drivers must be especially careful when making wide turns to avoid obstructing traffic or otherwise causing an accident. If you or a loved one has been in an accident involving a large truck.

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, and this includes working with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

Truck drivers must understand how much time and space are needed to complete a wide turn, and here are some common situations which may result in wide-turn accidents:

  • The truck driver, attempting a right turn, moves too far to the left and obstructs the path of an oncoming vehicle;
  • While turning, the truck’s trailer collides with a vehicle within its turn-radius;
  • The truck driver simply miscalculates the necessary time and space for the turn, which is classified as driver-error;
  • The truck driver’s error related to necessary time and space was influenced by distraction, fatigue, drug/alcohol intoxication, or even a combination of these.

Injuries resulting from wide-turn accidents involving large trucks can be severe. These include:

  • Deep cuts and lacerations, especially from broken/shattered glass or metal;
  • Broken/shattered bones;
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or neurological disorders;
  • Spinal injuries;
  • Partial or permanent paralysis;
  • Wrongful death.
