in Commercial Vehicule Accident, Garbage Truck Accident, Truck Accidents, Vehicle Accidents

Even smaller garbage trucks weighing between 50,000 and 60,000 pounds often wield deadly force when they hit the average American passenger car that weighs between about 2,600 and 4,400 pounds.

Determining The Fault in a Truck Accident Case

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

In a simple car accident, it is usually easy to determine liability. There are known scenarios: a rear end impact, a left turn impact, a driver who disregarded a stop sign or traffic light. However, in truck accident matters, it is often more difficult to establish liability because there are many factors involved which make for a much more complex legal matter.
