Philadelphia Underride Truck Accident Lawyers

Philadelphia Truck Accident Lawyers

Learn about the dangerous of an underride collision in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania.  Accidents involving "Big Rig" Tractor Trailer trucks often involve a greater risk of injury in that the body of the trailer sits higher than an average passenger vehicle, causing a likelihood of "underride". An "underride" collision involves the lower passenger vehicle (usually the front) traveling under the higher body of the trailer (usually the rear), causing the trailer to intrude into the occupant compartment of the lower passenger vehicle causing injury to those inside.

Fighting For Justice and A Just Monetary Settlement

These injuries include closed head injury, open head injury, brain injury and, sometimes, decapitation. Although there are regulations which require some tractor-trailers to be outfitted with reflective tape on both the rear and/or have a rear bumper equipped at lower heights, there are still thousands of tractor-trailers lacking proper safety underride protections. Bumpers often do not meet DOT standards or collapse on contact. The trucking companies will say it is the automobile drivers' fault for rear-ending the trailer, but sometimes slick streets or "sudden stops" by the 18 wheeler presents an unavoidable situation or the auto driver. These unavoidable circumstances do not excuse the truck company to have advanced bumper systems to minimize the severity of injury.
