Each year in the United States, there are more than 500,000 accidents involving large trucks commonly referred to as tractor trailers or “18-Wheelers”. Accidents involving these large trucks usually involve significant property damage and injuries due to the large size and incredible weight of these trucks, particularly when they are loaded with merchandise, vehicles or equipment. Even a so-called “low impact” accident in which an 18-Wheeler strikes another vehicle traveling at low speeds, can result in debilitating injuries.
