Jackknifed 18-Wheeler Attorneys
The number and severity of accidents involving jackknifed 18-wheeled trucks on our highways increases nearly every year and shows no signs of slowing down or stopping. The demands on the truck drivers to deliver their loads are increasing, and the high cost of diesel fuel keeps the numbers of truck drivers low, which means fewer drivers doing more of the driving.

These huge trucks, which weigh over ten thousands pounds, are a necessary part of our nation's economy, but they also account for one in every eight traffic fatalities. Their enormous mass makes them susceptible to driving incidents and braking problems, and sudden movements can make them jackknife and then hit or be hit by other traffic.
This huge size also means they are likely to severely damage or destroy any other motor vehicle they hit. People inside those vehicles, as well as innocent pedestrians, are likely to receive serious injuries, including brain injuries. Whenever you, or someone you know, has an accident with a large semi-trailer truck, you should contact a personal injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Banafsheh, Danesh & Javid, P.C. before agreeing to any proposal from the truck driver, the firm he or she works for, or any insurance company.
