Stamford, CT personal injury attorney Joaquin Madry talks about why you need a truck accident lawyer. He cautions that accidents involving tractor-trailers, commonly known as 18-wheelers, differ significantly from ordinary motor vehicle collisions. Because these commercial vehicles operate under different regulations and often involve additional parties and legal considerations, trucking accident cases can give rise to claims that are not typically present in standard car accident litigation. He also notes that the injuries resulting from these crashes are often far more severe due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved.
