Motor-vehicle accidents involving large trucks and trucks with trailer attachments can cause devastating injuries. The sheer size, weight and dimensions of such a huge vehicle spinning out of control can result in life-altering injuries including paralysis, permanent or temporary disability. In the worst cases, these accidents can also cause death. The physical, emotional and financial impact of these injuries takes a toll on not just the victim but on the entire family. Getting medical help would obviously be the top priority but once this has been addressed, it’s crucial to contact a Gananoque personal injury lawyer without delay.

Accidents are usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence and the injured are entitled to seek compensation for losses from those responsible for the accident.

Tractor Trailer Accidents

Statistics show that nearly half of all tractor trailer accidents occur in rural areas and quieter roads. In general, it’s the other vehicle’s passengers and driver are more likely to get injured, rather than the truck driver. Serious injury lawyers know that there are multiple causes for such accidents, but in approximately 30% of fatal collisions, truck driver fatigue is a major contributing cause.

Jackknifing is one of the most common features of heavy truck accidents, as Gananoque car accident lawyers know. When a collision occurs, the tractor trailer swings out at right angles to the truck, traveling across other lanes, it could endanger several vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and other road-users, often leading to multi-vehicle pile-ups and traffic blocks.

Typical injuries in tractor trailer accidents range from cuts, wounds, burns, fractures etc to severe bleeding, internal organ damage, crush injuries, head/neck/spinal injuries, disability, disfigurement, amputation or death.
