Trucking accidents are a highly specialized area of personal injury law. Many people are under the misconception that a truck accident claim will unfold in much the same way as a car accident claim. In fact, the discovery process alone is much more comprehensive in a tractor-trailer accident, as the attorney is faced with evaluating a more complex vehicle and searching for signs of mechanical failure that may have contributed to the crash. In addition, semi truck crashes require your lawyer to track down commercial insurance policies and deal with insurance carriers that are intent on protecting their own financial interests. Trucking accidents involving cars and 18 wheelers are rarely minor. It is not uncommon for serious injury or death to accompany a truck accident.
