Trucking Accident Attorney Vancouver

Large commercial trucks are used to transport goods to and from other parts of the country and beyond, which is why they are such an essential part of Canada’s economy. Commercial truck companies must follow specific safety regulations regarding truck maintenance, cargo, and employee training. Commercial truck drivers are also required to follow specific safety regulations regarding how and when they can drive. Sadly, in an effort to maximize profits, many truck companies and truck drivers choose to ignore or bypass safety regulations. When safety regulations are ignored, the potential for a severe truck accident increases.

Large commercial trucks like semis, big rigs, and 18-wheelers are massive vehicles weighing as much as 20 times more than the average passenger car. When a semi hits a passenger vehicle, typically, the passenger car is the vehicle that sustains the most damage. It’s usually the passengers of the car that sustain the most damaging injuries as well. Victims of truck accidents can sustain serious head injuries, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, complete or partial amputation injuries, internal organ damage, and fatal injuries.

Truck accidents are not limited to large commercial vehicles, however. Pickups, mid size trucks, and heavy-duty trucks can also leave a scene of destruction if involved in an accident with a smaller passenger car. Studies have shown that personal trucks have a propensity to rollover as well. In fact, studies have shown that pickup trucks are twice as likely to have a fatal rollover accident than passenger cars. In recent years, more and more manufacturers of personal trucks have been guilty of skimping on product design and quality. Faulty seat belts, badly designed tires, unsafe body designs, and defective brake systems have contributed to a number of truck accidents.
