How Truck Collision Claims Are Different From Car Accident Cases
Truck accident injuries tend to be more severe than car accident injuries, simply because of the enormous size of the vehicles involved. Semitruck crashes are more likely to result in life-changing injuries like brain injuries and spinal cord injuries.
While the extent of the injuries always plays a role in how a personal injury case is handled, the biggest distinguishing factor in truck accident claims is the unique laws that apply. Truck drivers are required to follow specific rules. They can only spend a certain number of hours behind the wheel. They must keep logbooks detailing their driving.
