From Monday to Friday, people all around Kaplan are driving to and from work– on rural streets or highways. During these peak times, traffic is heavier, tensions are higher, and accidents are more prone to happen.
It’s also when passenger vehicles are forced to share the road with heavy freight and commercial vehicles of 10,000-lbs or more. The vast majority of fatal and non-fatal accidents, between 84-88 percent, involving large commercial trucks, occur during these times.
There are many types of injuries from minor cuts or whiplash to brain damage, loss of limb or life, and paralysis. While more severe injuries and increased medical costs are significant factors in terms of the amount of potential compensation, everyone is entitled to pursue justice.

Typically, large vehicles and semi-trucks carry a hefty insurance policy upwards of $750,000, but big insurance companies back those policies, and they don’t want to settle, no matter how much pain or suffering you have experienced.
Not only that, but they are looking for evidence to prove that liability lies outside of the driver or trucking company. Often, they’ll arrive at the site of the crash that same day to collect evidence and begin to construct a case.
Determining liability in cases like these is complex. The source of an accident can be from many causes, and could include any of the following:
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue or intoxication
- Dangerous road conditions or hazards
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Improperly loaded supplies
- Lack of signage or directional shifts
