Big Truck Accidents on Interstates

Every winter it seems that there are at least one or two major pile-ups on the interstate. These accidents cause a lot of damage, injury, and death. Even though the conditions that lead to these accidents are well known, speeding, reckless driving, and inattention, every year another pile-up occurs. While not all big truck accidents on interstates are caused by 18-wheelers getting out of control, but any big truck involved will make any accident that much worse.

In many big truck accidents on interstates the truck drivers involved are poorly trained and inexperienced. Not only might the driver be responsible for personal injury or wrongful death claims, but also the trucking company who employs them may be partially responsible. Many trucking companies push their drivers by imposing unrealistic schedules on them. This puts a lot of pressure on the driver to go too fast for weather conditions. The lack of training makes things worse as drivers are unable to gauge how long it takes to stop in adverse weather conditions.

The big trucking companies and their insurance companies are well funded and have a ton of lawyers fighting for every dime. The last thing they want to do is pay on a big truck accident claim.
