Semi truck accidents are among the most disastrous motor vehicle
accidents. Injuries from semi-trucks are often very serious because of
the size and weight of the truck. Truck accidents can result in
catastrophic injury, permanent disability or even death, causing a
ripple effect of pain and suffering.
Drivers of
large trucks and other vehicles involved in truck crashes are ten times
more likely to be the cause of the crash than other factors, such as
weather, road conditions and vehicle performance. The most commonly
associated factors were driver related, such as illegal drug/alcohol
use, traveling too fast for conditions, unfamiliarity with the roadway,
inadequate surveillance, fatigue, improper equipment, and feeling under
pressure from their employer as well as others on the road.
Because
semi trucks are usually owned by large companies, often a sophisticated
team of insurance adjusters or lawyers will quickly begin working on
building a case against you —even if the accident was not your fault.
Don't talk to these folks.Their interest is in protecting the trucking
companies and truck drivers who hire them.
If
you or someone you love has been injured or even killed in a Missouri
semi truck accident and the accident was not your fault, you have
certain rights to recover money for injuries, property damage, missed
work, medical bills, pain and suffering and disability. But truck
companies or their insurance adjusters or attorneys may try to get you
to waive (give up) those rights.
