Injured in a Truck Accident?

Of all traffic collisions, those involving large commercial trucks are often the most serious. The extent of property damage and injury that may be caused in a truck accident is directly related to the immense size and weight of large trucks. According to the NHTSA, a large truck is a vehicle with a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or more. A fully loaded semi truck or tractor trailer may weigh up to 80,000 pounds or even more with a special oversized vehicle permit. When you consider a vehicle of this weight involved in a collision with a typical passenger car that may weigh only 2,000 pounds, it is easy to see why the smaller vehicle will most likely sustain serious damage while the truck and its occupants may make it through unscathed.
