A semi truck is higher than it is wide. This makes it inherently unstable and therefore more prone to accidents. A tractor-trailer is more likely to be involved in accidents like jackknife accidents than straight trucks and passenger vehicles.
There are federal and state regulations which closely regulate commercial trucking companies but the accident lawyer at Burnside Wall have found that trucking companies violate these regulations in the following areas:
• Hiring, training and supervising 18-wheeler truck drivers
• Violations of restrictions on hours of driving, resulting in driver fatigue
• Overweight semi trucks and unbalanced loads
• Semi truck equipment maintenance
These violations can endanger the lives of others on the road. Victims of semi truck accidents can suffer from catastrophic injuries such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or paralysis resulting from a spinal cord injury requiring long term treatment and care.
