How is a truck accident different from a regular car accident?

Truck accidents often cause more serious injuries than car accidents because commercial trucks are much taller and heavier than passenger cars, which can lead to underride crashes, rollovers, and jackknifes. These cases are also more complex legally. Trucking companies must follow federal safety, maintenance, and inspection rules, and several parties, such as the driver, the trucking company, a broker, or a shipper, may share responsibility. That’s why truck accident cases usually call for a deeper investigation than a typical car crash.
