The most serious and destructive highway accidents usually involve 18-wheelers. Loaded with as much as 80,000 pounds, these large vehicles share public roadways with ordinary men, women, and children. Truck accidents can be devastating and can range from minor sideswipes to rear-end collisions, jackknifes, underrides, and more. In 2020, 4,842 large trucks were involved in fatal crashes. Too often drivers are overworked in violation of federal and state regulations, and badly maintained vehicles are placed onto roadways that shouldn’t be. When you’ve been involved in an accident with a commercial motor vehicle, you need a lawyer that knows the regulations. If you’ve been in an accident with a big rig truck it’s incredibly important that the appropriate evidence is secured and collected for your case to prove the negligence of the driver and the failure of the company. If you’ve been injured in a commercial motor vehicle accident, don’t hesitate, call Edward Festeryga.
