Hundreds of large truck accidents happen in Missouri every year. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 1 out of 10 highway deaths occur from an accident with a large truck. The average large truck weighs 80,000 pounds, so the chances of having no injuries after being involved in an accident are slim.

Unfortunately, truck accidents often involve cars outside of the initial crash. Pileups involve numerous vehicles and therefore make it even harder to determine what really happened and who is at fault.

Semi-truck accidents can be more complicated than other types of motor vehicle crash cases. Even if the accident involved just the truck and one passenger vehicles there are numerous parties involved including the owners of the truck, the owner of the trailer, the company that packed the trailers, the truck driver’s employer, and the driver of the passenger vehicle.

Commercial trucking companies typically have more resources at their disposal than the average passenger vehicle driver. Their insurance companies spring into action to gather the information that will help them defend their case. Truck companies often know how to avoid liability and responsibility. They even hire trained investigators to record personal perceptions of the accidents, and these investigators are good at what they do. What they record often minimizes the trucking company’s liability.
