Carol Rosenbloom Associates, LLC | Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaTruck Accident Attorney • Tractor Trailer Accident LawyerThe difference in the size and weight of a commercial vehicle compared to the size and weight of an average car is tremendous. When high speeds and crowded roadways are added to this equation and an accident occurs, the results for car and motorcycle drivers are often tragic. There are many different reasons for accidents involving large trucks including negligence on the part of the truck driver or the other vehicles involved. Others causes of accidents include: An 18-wheeler truck traveling at 70 miles per hour has twice as much energy as one at 50 mph. In addition, automobiles are designed under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to encounter like size vehicles, not 80,000 pound trucks. Added hazards include the absence of rear and side bumpers and high front bumpers that punch into automobile passenger compartments. Together these factors account for the high percentage of serious injuries and deaths in these crashes. Many times, trucking, hauling and leasing companies dispute whose insurance will provide for victim compensation. These companies' representatives know that the ideal time to confront an accident victim is immediately following the event. In the aftermath of a truck accident, the traumatized victim will need to make important decisions that will impact his/her future. Grieving, anxious and injured people are pressured by trucking and insurance companies' tactics. Too often the victims and their families struggle through the difficult after effects of truck collisions alone. Unfortunately, because of Pennsylvania's personal injury and tort laws, injured or killed motorists and their surviving family members are not always able to obtain adequate compensation for their losses.

Tractor Trailer Accidents • Third-Party Liability • Limited Tort InsuranceIn many tractor-trailer accident cases, even if you have limited tort insurance coverage, you may be entitled to pain and suffering compensation from a third-party liability insurance carrier. This is true because the tractor trailer is from out-of-state or the seriousness of your injuries. An additional basis of tractor trailer liability is the logo on the side of a trailer. A company sometimes sells a trailer with its logo painted on it. Even though it sold the trailer, the company remains liable until the logo is removed. At Carol Rosenbloom Associates, LLC, our personal injury lawyers have a thorough understanding of the law and can help you identify a third-party which may be held liable for damages resulting from a truck accident.
