Truck Accidents Attorneys in Olathe, Kansas

The potential damage that an 18-wheeler truck can render is undoubtedly one of the most severe kinds of damage that can lead to long-term personal injuries. Equally damaging is when a negligent truck driver fails to take responsibility for negligent behavior while delivering goods for the trucking company responsible for hiring him or her. Without a doubt, severe injuries can happen to anyone who is or has become the victim of a trucking accident.

• A trucking accident was caused by an aggressive truck driver who tailgates.

• A truck driver who swerves due to exhaustion or sleeping behind the wheel.

Why Are Truck Accidents so Serious and Potentially Fatal?

18-wheeler or semi-trailer accidents can result in serious injuries simply because these trucks are much bigger than other vehicles traveling on the road. Combined with the fact that an 18-wheeler requires a far greater stopping distance, the size of these trucks means they create a far greater force in a collision. The most common injuries resulting from truck accidents include spinal cord injuries, broken bones, brain damage, paralysis, and even wrongful death.

Commercial trucks are not designed to withstand a significant amount of impact. In fact, they feature no crumple zones and often lack safety features in regards to structure. As a result, trucking accidents can also be dangerous for truck drivers.

An experienced Kansas City truck accident attorney can evaluate such cases thoroughly, reviewing all angles of the accident to determine precisely which party is at fault. A potentially liable party could include the manufacturer of the vehicle or even the semi-truck, as well as road construction companies that failed to provide proper notice regarding road hazards or road defects. Other possible at-fault parties include fleet maintenance companies if they failed to properly maintain the vehicle.
