Truck Accidents
Types of Truck Accidents
Override and underride crashes
An override accident occurs when a large truck drives over the top of a smaller vehicle; an underride accident occurs when a smaller vehicle driver under the trailer of a truck. These accidents are often caused by tailgating or by cutting off a larger vehicle.
Jackknife crashes
A jackknife collision happens when the truck’s trailer swings around to create a 90-degree angle with the truck cab.
Drunk driving crashes
Truck accidents are often caused by drunk or impaired drivers, including substance-impaired truck drivers.
Blind spot accidents
Large trucks have large blind spots, and truck drivers often change lanes or perform other maneuvers as a result of failing to see smaller vehicles within blind spots.
Distracted driving
Common distractions include texting, talking on the phone, personal grooming, and eating, among a number of others.
Aggressive driving
Aggressive behavior may include unsafe lane changes, tailgating, or failing to signal or yield the right of way.
Fatigued driving
Fatigued driving is often considered as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.
Expressway/highway crashes
High rates of speed on expressways or highways may lead to catastrophic crashes.

Julian Answers Your Personal Injury and Accident Questions
How Do I Know If I Have A Good Case?
No one can promise you that you have a good case. If they do, get it in writing. Because we work on a contingency fee basis—which means that we do not get paid unless you get com pensated—we only handle cases that we believe are economically viable…
How Long Will My Case Take?
Just like every child is different, every case is different. Some cases can take as little as a few weeks, while others can take years, even decades. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer or hard and fast rules…
What If I Can’t Pay for an Attorney Upfront?
To get started, you pay us nothing up front. If we lose, you owe us nothing. We are contingency fee lawyers, which means that we don’t get paid unless we you get compensated for your injury or loss…
