All drivers on the road must be cognitively, mentally and physically able to handle the duties that come with being on the road. A truck driver has to be prepared and trained properly. This is one reason why commercial driver’s licenses are required for driving these large vehicles. Unfortunately, there are some individuals who drive big rigs without the proper training or when they aren’t able to do so safely.
Unsafe truckers can cause serious crashes that lead to innocent parties having catastrophic injuries like those to the brain, spinal cord or internal organs. When this happens, the person is likely going to need extensive medical care. Lengthy hospital stays, intensive therapy and complex medication regimens often come with these types of cases.
We know that you didn’t leave home expecting for a semi-truck to run your vehicle over. Because of the shock of this happening and the likelihood of those serious injuries, you might be shaken up. This can make it hard to make decisions in the time immediately after the crash. We can help you determine what steps you need to take from here.
You need to do what you can to protect your rights to seek compensation for the big rig wreck. One word of advice is to be careful what you say.
