If your car was struck at highway speed by a fully loaded semi truck, how will you recover from such a substantial and grievous loss? At our firm, we can help you. The safety features in today’s passenger vehicle designs cannot account for the superior height, weight, and size of a semi truck if a crash occurs.

Distracted driving is one of the top reasons for accidents on the road, with the use of cell phones behind the wheel. Texting while driving can be a particularly hazardous nuisance on the highways, especially when the texting is done by truck and bus drivers. The federal government in January 2010 formally barred truckers and bus drivers from sending text messages while driving. The legislation is part of a growing effort to make laws to eliminate the threat of distracted drivers.

A semitruck driver may be tempted to try to change lanes in order to pass a slower moving vehicle. When the driver of the big rig fails to properly check the mirrors, the unseen passenger vehicle has to swerve to avoid being hit. In another case, a semi truck speeding on the highway may be unable to slow down when approaching congestion, such as traffic merging into one lane before entering a highway construction area.
