A tractor trailer accident lawyer can be a valuable ally when a collision with a big rig changes your life. He can help you win much-needed compensation for:

• Emergency room bills
• Funeral expenses
• Lost wages and future income
• Mental pain and suffering
• Neglected household expenses

A tractor trailer accident lawyer knows it’s almost a given that a run-in with an 18 wheeler will cause life threatening wounds, death, and demolition of your car. A big truck can weigh between 10,000 to 80,000 pounds and carry hazardous cargo – hardly a fair match for an automobile. Commercial carriers are well-insured, but insurance companies are not charities. They are big businesses that will try to get away with paying you as little as possible.

Call our tractor trailer accident lawyer team to learn your rights. Truckers’ insurance companies will pay for injuries that are immediately apparent. However, it is a fact that some conditions will not show up for days, week or longer after the crash. If you sign papers right after an accident:

• You will probably not be clear-headed enough to make the best decisions or make accurate statements, and insurance companies know that.
  
  
• Your right to full compensation for injuries, pain and suffering, compensatory and punitive damages may be compromised.
  
  
• All of the life issues connected to lingering injury will not be covered.
  
  
• Talk to a tractor trailer accident lawyer before you talk about the crash “on the record.” You will be in shock and whatever you say could be used against you later.

Any tractor trailer accident lawyer will tell you that while trucking has become a safer industry, lean economic times and high gas prices have put the pressure on that industry to do more with less. It is true of many industries. In the case of big rigs, it can jeopardize your safety. Consider these scenarios:

• Fatigued drivers feeling pressure to make impossible deadlines
  
  
• Truckers who are not well trained
  
  
• Slipshod truck maintenance that makes the truck less safe to operate
  
  
• Older trucks with maintenance issues or lacking in the safety features of new models
  
  
• Cargo that is loaded by time-pressed or poorly trained labor, which can throw off a truck’s weight distribution

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, big rig accidents claimed 3,380 fatalities and 74,000 injuries in 2009. About three-quarters of the injuries were suffered by people inside the other vehicle. The odds are way against you when you share the road with an 18 wheeler.
