Tractor Trailer
Accidents involving cars and tractor trailer semi-trucks are common occurrences on America’s streets, roads and highways. A tractor trailer rig is a 60-80 ton vehicle built for powerful long hauling. They require training and care to operate safely. A passenger car or truck is a 3,000 lb. vehicle that can maneuver more tightly and stop more quickly than a fully-loaded tractor trailer. When these two collide, the passenger vehicle usually suffers the worst damage, and in some cases, the resulting accident is fatal.

This is not as simple as determining the liability in a car versus car accident, for state and federal regulations govern commercial trucking traffic, which is why it is important to work with an experienced Orlando personal injury attorney when filing a personal injury claim.
