Videos:
- Personal Injury 101: Trucking Injuries, 2023
- Being in a collision with a semi-truck is different than being in a collision in a private car. Semi-trucks have more responsibilities due to the size of the truck and the number of hours they spend on the road. Driving a semi-truck requires special skills and training that allow these large trucks to operate safely on a road. When training is not done right or the rules are not followed, it's very dangerous for other drivers on the road. It's very important that you hire an attorney with experience in semi-truck cases to help you with your claims. These cases are more complicated due to the special regulations that apply to semi-trucks and their drivers., Trucking Injuries: “How does a collision with a semi-truck differ from a collision with a car?”, Trucking, 2021
