What Factors Make Truck Accidents More Dangerous Than Car Accidents?

If you've been injured by a semi-truck or delivery truck it's important to understand these types of cases can be much more severe than an average car accident. The reasons include trucks are much larger and can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. This makes it much more difficult for a truck to stop, maneuver or turn quickly. Additionally, truck drivers are required to strict regulations to ensure the driver isn't exhausted, but all too often trucking companies try to circumvent these safety rules in order to increase profit.

Testimonial

  • I had an incredible experience working with Kode Law Firm. After my accident, I was overwhelmed, but they stepped in and handled everything from me. They managed to get me the full policy limits for my settlement and even went the extra mile to get my entire PIP subrogation waived, which made a huge difference for my settlement. Because of their hard work, I’m finally able to move forward with my shoulder surgery. They kept me updated every step of the way and I always knew what was happening with my case. Highly recommend Kode Law, especially if you need to have a surgery because they will take the time to strategize early on. Nhogs B.
