Wrongful Death From Truck Accidents
There are 15.5 million trucks traveling on the road throughout the country, many making cross-country trips on fast highways. Trucks can be massive, 18-wheelers weighing in at a couple tons. From a physical standpoint, they can come off as intimidating to the other motor vehicles on the road, and pose a possible risk to them. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has said that some trucks take 20 to 40 percent farther than cars to stop, and even more with inclement weather conditions. This surely poses a risk to other drivers as they rely on truck drivers to be exceptionally careful while driving. And according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 4,102 people died in large truck crashes in 2017, with 68% of the victims being occupants or drivers of other passenger vehicles. A truck can easily cause serious damage to another driver or pedestrian on the road due to its large size and required driving skills
A truck accident can cause severe injuries and damage to both parties due to the potential impact that its heaviness and large size can cause. Given this, a victim of a truck accident can get very badly injured, and even killed, as a result. Sometimes, the facts of the accident may seem to add up to a case of negligence on the other party’s part. An important thing to keep in mind is to keep any records or police reports that are a result of the accident. The more evidence that you have on the facts of the case, the stronger it will be. Negligent driving involves conduct while driving that is careless, such as being distracted or drunk. The actions of a negligent driver could have been prevented, therefore situations like this could be considered a wrongful death case.
