A semi-truck pulling an empty trailer weighs roughly 35,000 pounds. A semi-truck pulling a fully loaded trailer can weigh approximately 80,000 pounds. In comparison, the average car weighs approximately 2,800 pounds. Therefore, on average, a semi-truck is approximately 20 times the size of a standard car. A collision between these two types of vehicles often results in serious injuries or fatalities to the occupants of the car.

These injuries can include bone fractures, lacerations, neck injuries, back injuries, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other serious injuries.

Given the significantly increased danger of a semi-truck compared to a normal-sized vehicle, truck drivers are held to a higher standard of care when operating their vehicles. A truck driver must obtain a commercial driver’s license, which requires them to pass a background check aimed to discover the criminal history and driving history, a medical examination, a skills test to prove the driver is capable of operating a semi-truck in a variety of scenarios, and a written knowledge test. Truck drivers are expected to put safety above any other priority. Unfortunately, not all truck drivers put safety first. It is not uncommon for truck drivers to drive on a lack of sleep, drive distracted, violate the rules of the road, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with improperly loaded cargo, and exhibit other unsafe behavior.

When Should I Hire a Las Vegas Truck Accident Lawyer?

After an accident involving a semi-truck, it is imperative to contact an experienced truck accident attorney in Las Vegas as soon as possible. Insurance companies for the trucking companies know that their financial exposure is much greater on serious injury trucking accidents. They will often hire defense lawyers right away to defend the negligent truck driver and trucking company, and attempt to stall efforts to obtain valuable information. It is important that a preservation of evidence letter requesting preservation of dashcam footage, event data recorder (EDR) information, the truck driver’s cell phone records, call-in logs, pre-trip and post-trip inspection records, maintenance records, photographs, witness statements, and other valuable information is sent immediately. A prompt inspection of the semi-truck by an accident reconstructionist or other expert may also be warranted.
