Outstanding Nebraska Semi-Truck Collision Attorneys
Most truck crash claims are similar to those for automobile crashes. However, truck collisions are usually much more serious and devastating than automobile crashes because of the weight of the truck. Collisions involving heavy trucks kill 14 people a day. In addition, in crash involving automobiles and tractor-trailers, 98 percent of the fatalities are occupants of the automobile, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
In defining a truck crash, the gross vehicle weight of the truck is at least 10,000 pounds. In many collisions involving big trucks, the drivers have driven longer than the allowed number of hours, resulting in driver fatigue, excessive speed, trucks that are overloaded or too heavy, and trucks that are improperly maintained, especially for brake defects.
