Accidents with big rig trucks are generally much more severe than with other smaller vehicles, as a fully loaded semi can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. The most common causes of trucking accidents are driver error prior to and while driving, mechanical failures, weather conditions, road design, and traffic signal failures.

As in most personal injury cases involving vehicle accidents, the key factor in determining liability is demonstrating whether the driver was negligent by failing to exercise reasonable care. However, the key factor in recovering damages through insurance coverage for a trucking accident, lies in the potential liability of the trucking company, employer and contractor.

A Truck or Trucking Accident is a road traffic incident which involves a “big rig” truck, such as a delivery truck, semi-truck, tanker trailer rig and over-the-road commercial hauler, being in a collision with another vehicle or another road user and which results in injury or property damage.
