Safety reports show that drivers of commercial trucks, such as an eighteen-wheeler, a tanker or freight carrier, exercise more care on the highway than drivers of cars or other motor vehicles. Yet, when an 18-wheeler and a car are involved in an accident, the relative size and weight differences nearly always result in serious injury and fatality. In fact, 98% of the fatalities in truck accidents involve those in passenger vehicles.

When a commercial truck accident occurs, trucking companies typically dispatch a company representative or their insurer to the accident scene; and often arrive before the first responders. In the interests of protecting their bottom line, trucking companies and their insurance adjusters do everything possible to limit and mitigate their company’s liability. In the aftermath of a trucking accident, the injured victims may be asked questions and encouraged to make statements and important decisions that could jeopardize their legal rights and limit the damages they might otherwise rightfully recover.
