Log Truck Accidents

Few passenger car drivers realize the consequences of "cutting off" a large truck, semi-trailer truck, or a logging truck, in areas where they dot the roadways. However, when those trucks weighing as much as 80,000 pounds have to change direction, stop, or slow down quickly, it can cause serious problems. But while many "big rig" accidents are caused by small cars, many are not. And when a driver loses control of a logging truck, the consequences can be devastating, both for the cars around them and for the drivers themselves. Shifting logs and debris can cause injuries and fatalities. If the log truck accident was the fault of the driver, you or your family may be entitled to compensation. These cases can be complex, and determining liability can be difficult. Truck accident attorneys have experience locating even hidden evidence and bringing the truth to light.

Fast Facts

  • Long logs for cargo and blind spots behind a logging truck can be the ingredients for tragic log truck accidents. If you can find witnesses to supply evidence in your defense, you may be eligible for compensation.
  • A fully loaded logging truck takes 20-40% longer to stop than a car.
