Tractor Trailer Truck Accident



A Distribution Center is generally a central location that Semi-Trucks go to load and unload their Tractor Trailers. The case I worked on was where a tractor trailer truck driver was hit by another tractor trailer truck. If you have been in a Truck Accident, I would highly advise you contact a dedicate Truck Accident Lawyer.
            The Distribution Center was a food distribution center for multiple major grocery stores in the area. The injured driver had just pulled out of the loading area for the facility. Typically, the truck drivers were supposed to drive out of the Distribution Centers loading area with the tractor trailer doors open so that the security guard at the exit could look in and check the trailer. Then, the truck driver was supposed to stop and go close the doors to the rear of the tractor trailer.
            When the truck driver leaving the facility closed his tractor trailer doors he proceeded around the rear of the trailer to get back in the truck. When he rounded the end of the trailer another truck was traveling in the opposite direction and hit the driver going approximately 5-15mph. Needless to say, the injuries were significant. Tractor trailer trucks are massive vehicles and when one comes into contact with a person the results can be disastrous. Immediately, the trucks data box was downloaded. This was data computer the tracks tractor trailer trucks movement, speeds and various other data. Today, a lot of trucks have these data boxes. The information was carefully combed over to determined approximately how fast the truck was going when it struck what was essentially a pedestrian.
            The truck driver that was driving the truck that struck the other driver, retired shortly after the accident. This was a bad fact for the defense. The driver of the truck was older. The insurer was denying that this fact had anything to do with accident. If you have been injured in an accident I would high suggest that you seek the help of a dedicated Truck Accident Attorney.

What happens to your vehicle after a car accident is dependent on the level of damage to the vehicle. Whether or not the vehicle was declared a total loss is an important determination.
