 Truck Accident

1 Vehicle Rollovers

One of the most devastating and terrifying collisions conceivable is a truck rollover. The center of gravity of tractor-trailers and other big commercial trucks is significantly higher than that of regular passenger cars. Truck drivers must exercise extreme caution when making sharp maneuvers or sudden swerves.

The trailer may flip and roll the entire truck over onto one side if drivers make too many sharp turns or drive too fast for the road conditions, causing a hazardous and potentially fatal situation for everyone on the road.

In some instances, rollover collisions are the result of truck drivers' careless or reckless behavior, such as speeding, distracted or fatigued driving, or driving while intoxicated. In other instances, vehicle rollover accidents can happen even when truck drivers are vigilant.

2 T-Bone Mishaps

The majority of T-bone collisions, also known as side-impact or broadside collisions, take place at junctions. Sometimes, tractor-trailers and other big trucks entering intersections at perpendicular angles will disregard stop signs, run red lights, or otherwise fail to yield the right-of-way, resulting in "T"-shaped collisions with the sides of other vehicles.

Drivers or passengers who are seated on the side of the car that receives the brunt of the impact in a T-bone collision frequently suffer the most severe injuries in these collisions. T-bone collisions can be lawfully caused by truck drivers who are speeding, distracted, drowsy, or intoxicated running through intersections. Another scenario that can result in a T-bone collision is when a truck driver makes an improper turn across one or more lines of traffic
