Investigation for Family Whose Loved One Was
T-Boned by a Semi Truck

T-Boned by a Semi Truck When we are hired for a serious injury or wrongful death case, we immediately begin an independent investigation. Here are a few of the questions that need to be answered:

Was the semi truck driver distracted (eating, talking on a cell phone, texting, looking for something)?
Was the truck driver drunk or under the influence of drugs?
Was the truck driver asleep or tired?
Was the semi truck driver speeding when his/her semi truck t-boned you?
Did the driver try to stop (were there skid marks)?
Did the driver have a history of traffic violations?
Did the weather or road conditions contribute to the t-bone accident?
Did the semi truck driver run a stop sign or signal light?
Was the semi truck in good repair?
Did defective brakes on the semi or another defective semi truck part cause the accident?

Investigating a truck accident and building a winning case is expensive. Our law firm has the resources to do what is necessary to win. Contact a lawyer about being t-boned by a semi truck.

Failure to Yield Right-of-Way
in T-Boned by Semi Truck Accident

Semi truck v. car t-bone accidents often involve failure to give the right-of-way at an intersection. Each state has traffic laws that govern right-of-way. It is usually defined as the privilege of the immediate use of the road.

Common semi-truck t-bone accidents:

Semi truck ran a stop sign and t-boned an auto
Semi truck ran a red light or stop light
Semi truck driver failed to stop at a yield sign when the facts required the semi to yield the right-of-way
Semi truck driver did not yield the right-of-way at an uncontrolled intersection when he or she should have done so
The semi truck driver turned into a vehicle when he or she should have yielded the right-of-way

If a semi truck driver is speeding, he or she forfeits right-of-way. For example, if a car runs a stop sign and a semi truck speeds through an intersection and t-bones the car, both the car and the semi truck are at fault. Any passenger injured in the semi truck v. car accident can sue both drivers.
