Given their sheer size, speed and weight, trucks and tractor-trailers, weighing 80,000 pounds or more, pose far greater risks for people on the road than cars and passenger vehicles, averaging 4,000 pounds. It is common for trucking accident victims to suffer serious brain injuries, paralysis, and permanent disabilities. These injuries have life-altering consequences and will require extensive medical treatment.
Insurance companies often do not want you to know that the commercial trucking industry must follow special state and federal regulations including The Motor Carrier safety regulations found in 49 C.F.R. ยง350-399.
Every accident has a cause, and every cause of an accident carries a liability, especially when there is major injuries from an accident.
If you or a family member has been involved in a truck accident, you have the right to be compensated for medical treatment, missing work, pain and suffering, and other expenses relating to the accident. The de Boisblanc Law Firm has over 7 years of experience working to help injured men and women. Let us help you.
