Truck Accident Evidence Must Be Secured

Semi truck accidents are very different than other vehicle accidents. In part, due to additional federal laws that govern the trucking industry. There are many federal regulations, including those requiring that certain evidence must be maintained, but only for a limited amount of time.

Another way that semi truck accidents differ from car accidents is the degree of danger involved. Truck drivers are professional drivers and should not needlessly endanger the public. They must be immeasurably more careful because semis are immeasurably more dangerous. 18-wheelers can crush cars — literally drive right over them.

For example, five to six car lengths may be a safe distance for a car to follow another vehicle. It is not a safe distance for a semi to follow a vehicle. A big truck is difficult to maneuver and takes a greater distance to stop. What if the truck driver is distracted or sleepy? The truck will crush the car in its path before the driver even has time to hit the brakes.

Trucking Company Insurance Requirements

Interstate trucking companies have to meet insurance requirements to cover accidents in Massachusetts involving personal injury and wrongful death. The amount of coverage varies depending on the nature of the materials being transported. This can create a situation where the liable parties involved may spend months or years arguing about which insurance company is responsible for compensating the victim in a truck liability case. You will need someone to represent you in this potentially long, drawn out process, as you deal with other issues in your life.

If the semi truck driver was determined to be at fault, the trucking company's insurance adjuster may contact you and offer a settlement. You should speak to an experienced semi truck accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Our consultations are free.
