Commercial Truck Accidents

A Hard-Hitting Alabama, Georgia and Washington, D.C., Commercial Truck Accident Lawyer to Represent You

Accidents with large trucks, often called "semi trucks," are usually catastrophic events that result in serious, debilitating injuries like amputations, brain or spinal cord injury, and head injuries, or even death.

A typical fully loaded, large commercial truck can weigh 80,000 pounds or more, while an average passenger automobile weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Due to this size disparity, and the basic laws of physics, any collision between a commercial truck and another vehicle is likely to result in serious, even fatal injuries.

Semi-trucks are required to carry greater amounts of insurance coverage, such as commercial policies. The drivers of these trucks must also meet higher safety standards than an average driver. Because trucks travel in interstate commerce, they are subject to many federal regulations that do not apply to other vehicles.
