Passenger vehicles are in grave danger when they meet with a large truck due to the substantial weight difference. The smaller vehicle suffers the full force of the impact and results in the occupants being killed or sustaining serious injuries that can have long term effects on the victim.
In some cases, severe injuries can require extensive care that leads to astronomical costs that can extend into the future. Some severe injuries include:
- Broken Bones
- Fatalities
- Amputations
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Internal Injuries
Guidelines for Nevada truck drivers
Large commercial trucks must be maintained and examined to ensure they are in safe working condition. The trucking company has an obligation to inspect their trucks and make sure they are maintained to safety standards. Most drivers must follow the HOS Regulations if they drive a commercial motor vehicle, or CMV. If the truck parts are not maintained, accidents can occur and cause disastrous results. Truck drivers also have an obligation to take safety measures, obey the rules of the road and be cautious to drivers.
A wide spectrum of trucking accidents includes:
- Truck Equipment Failure
- Hit and Run Truck Accidents
- Truck Driver Fatigue
- Semi Trucking Wreck
- Truck Driver Negligence
- DUI Truck Accidents
- Under-Ride Collisions
- Jackknife Accidents
- Automobile vs. Truck Accidents
