18 Wheeler Accidents

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Have you ever been behind an 18 wheeler when it suffers a blow out? It not only makes a mess, but sometimes a tire blowout on a large truck can cause the vehicle to become unstable. Through research, we were amazed to find out that the NHTSA (National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration) has proposed a new “tire safety” law for the first time in 37 years. 37 years? We’re thinking tires alone have improved a bit over 37 years and that some 18 wheeler accidents could have probably been avoided.

With proposals on the table for allowing larger and heavier big rigs to hit the roads, an increase in accidents is sure to come. The need for trucking and transportation continues to grow, therefore larger trucks would be able to haul larger loads hopefully cutting down the number of trucks on the road. Heavier and larger trucks means more serious that accident when that truck has a blow out. Hopefully you are NOT there when it happens.

If you are involved in a truck accident and suffer injuries or vehicle damage, who are you going to call?

The 18 wheeler accident attorneys at Burwell Nebout Trial Lawyers are available to guide you through the logistics of fighting a large trucking company in the event you are involved in an accident with an 18 wheeler.
