Truck accidents involving tractor-trailers and passenger cars can sometimes be disastrous. Understanding what causes 18-wheeler wrecks in Pennsylvania or New Jersey often requires a qualified attorney who knows how to investigate truck companies.

Truck accidents can result in severe, debilitating injuries like spinal cord injuries, amputations, and head injuries.
As the operator of the smaller automobile, you are more vulnerable to injury or death in an accident than the driver of a large truck, whether it's a tanker truck, delivery truck or van, or any other large commercial vehicle.
A typical fully loaded, large commercial truck can weigh nearly 30 times more than an average passenger car. In 2008, there were 192 fatal crashes in Pennsylvania and 47 fatal crashes in New Jersey involving large trucks, according to the National Transportation Highway Safety Administration's Fatal Analysis Reporting System.
Motorists expect 18-wheeler drivers to operate their rigs professionally and safely, whether they're traveling on rural roads or on the Pennsylvania Turkpike, New Jersey Turnpike or I-95. Tractor-trailer truck drivers are required to carry more insurance coverage and meet higher safety standards, including many federal regulations that other vehicles do not have to meet. Violation of these standards may impose additional liability on the truck.
Even truck accidents involving a smaller commercial vehicle, such as a pickup truck or another passenger vehicle operating commercially, on the major interstates and roads in Pennsylvania and New Jersey can lead to serious injuries.
