An Overview of Truck Accidents

Some may ask is there a difference between being hit by a car and being hit by a truck. Well, there is a significant difference. When you are hit by a commercial truck there are certain complexities that differentiate a truck accident from a car accident. These complexities revolve around the vehicle code because commercial trucks are held to various additional rules that do not apply to a "regular" vehicle. As such, a truck may be faulted as negligible in instance where an automobile would not. This is why seeking legal representation in a suit stemming from an accident should center on finding an attorney who understands these complexities and knows the various vehicle codes inside and out.
