Large truck accidents pose a number of complications not present in smaller car crashes. When you are involved in a semi-truck wreck, it is important that you contact a lawyer right away to help make sure you are protected. Failure to work with a qualified and experienced truck accident attorney can result in an insufficient settlement or even a complete denial of your claim.

How Truck Accidents and Car Crashes Differ
Five areas in which passenger vehicle accidents are typically very different than large truck crashes are:
- Property Damage. Truck accidents often result in the complete destruction of passenger vehicles. Cars involved in accidents with commercial vehicles like semi-trucks often have to be replaced entirely
- Injury. Large truck accidents are more likely to result in serious injuries like traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury
- Death. While there are fewer car/truck accidents than accidents between passenger vehicles, those involving trucks are much more likely to result in fatal injury
- Liability. The truck company, the truck driver, mechanics, parts manufacturers, cargo companies, and even government entities may be held liable for damages following a truck accident. Multiple defendants may be necessary for full compensation, but can also complicate the claims process
- Difficulty. When you are involved in a truck accident, there can be several liable parties, several contributing factors, and multiple aspects that need to be considered. These things combine to make truck accident claims some of the most difficult to win
More difficult to win and more complex than car crashes, truck accidents demand the attention of a personal injury lawyer who knows how to investigate their cause, identify all liable parties, and hold those responsible to account for all of your damages.
