Truck Accident Lawyers In Pennsylvania

The National Traffic Safety Administration estimates that every year, more than 400,000 large trucks (including 18-wheelers and tractor trailers) are involved in trucking accidents, including semi-trucks, tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles. This wrecks result in over 5,000 deaths and more than 100,000 injuries.

Large commercial vehicles and 18-wheelers can pose significant hazards to most other vehicles on the road, often resulting in a semi-truck accident. For example, when a semi-truck jackknifes on a highway, it can become an impenetrable wall resulting in a serious multiple vehicle collision. A trucker’s load may spill following a collision, creating an additional hazard for other drivers and potentially releasing dangerous chemicals. Because of their weight and size, commercial trucks can also be slow to come to a full stop.

Although the commercial trucking industry is heavily regulated, many regulations are ignored by irresponsible truck drivers who try to shorten their time on the road. Ignoring regulations can be harmful to other drivers. However, when a commercial truck driver is the employee of a trucking company, the company may be liable for injuries caused by the driver’s negligence either in its capacity as an employer or as the owner of the truck.
