Under Ride Collision
Under-rides happen when a passenger vehicle crashes into a truck with a trailer and passes under the trailer. Unfortunately, this type of collision is very often fatal. Those who do survive may be heavily injured and traumatized for life.
Getting Proper Compensation For Damages
Every accident is different, and it may be difficult to discern if the under-ride collision was the fault of the truck driver or the passenger vehicle driver. Therefore, it is critical to have a personal injury attorney experienced in under-ride collisions on your side. These types of accidents are incredibly time sensitive and require quick action so your attorney can thoroughly analyze all the evidence, including police reports, witness statements, medical records, etc.
Under-Ride Traumas, Injuries, and Fatalities
Being that under-ride accidents are often fatal, you may be left grieving your loss. The financial, psychological, and emotional damages from losing a loved one to such a tragic accident may be absolutely devastating. As a grieving family, you should not be forced to cover all the losses and funeral arrangements. To start the process of pursuing the compensation you deserve, engage a skilled personal injury attorney to navigate the complexities of under-ride accidents.
Most Common Under-Ride Collision Categories
Most Common Under-Ride Collision Categories
- Side under-ride collisions: A truck driver does not see the passenger vehicle and proceeds to change lanes, thereby trapping the car under the trailer. This type of accident is fatal in most cases, since the passenger car is likely to suffer severe impact with the large truck.
- Rear under-ride collisions: A driver of a passenger vehicle drives under the rear of the truck with a trailer. This type of accident might be caused by lack of proper illumination, such as dirty taillights or broken emergency flashers. These accidents are often fatal due the location of the point of impact when a car and a large truck collide.
