A common question the attorneys at Parke Gordon Law Firm frequently hear is “Should I hire an attorney after a semi truck accident?” Semi truck accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes result in wrongful death claims. Special considerations are owed in handling a semi truck accident due to the special federal and state safety laws that regulate trucking companies and their drivers.
A driver was injured in a semi truck accident in Coeur d’Alene when the semi truck attempted to change lanes and stuck an unseen vehicle. The semi truck and vehicle hit were heading eastbound. The vehicle hit ended up in the left lane of eastbound traffic and the third trailer being pulled by the semi came to rest blocking both eastbound lanes four approximately four hours. Both drivers in the semi truck accident were reportedly wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. The driver injured was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for evaluation of injuries. They are expected to be okay.
Semi truck accidents are often very serious due to the heavy weight of semis as well as the loads they are carrying. According to statistics combined from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Center for Statistics and Analysis and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 98 percent of all semi truck accidents result in at least one fatality. In addition, for every 100 million miles driven on U.S. roads, there are 2.3 deaths and 60.5 injuries caused by big rigs or semi trucks.
