Common Types of Trucking Accidents in Tampa

Eighteen-wheelers are common inhabitants of various Tampa roads. Truck drivers must comply with strict federal trucking regulations to keep others safe.

For example, a commercial truck driver may only drive for a specified number of hours at a time before they must take time off to sleep and rejuvenate.

A fully-loaded semi-truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds and stretch over 75 feet in length, so any smaller vehicle in a collision with these vehicles can suffer severe damage. When an accident occurs with these large vehicles, the injuries can be catastrophic and even deadly.

There are three main kinds of trucking accidents:

• Underride accidents
• Rollovers
• Jackknife accidents

On the back of every trailer there is a guard bar to keep smaller vehicles from traveling beneath the trailer. An underride accident occurs when this bar fails. The results of this can be very serious as the car will generally travel beneath the trailer and the bottom will scrape the hood all the way back past the driver’s seat.

A rollover accident can occur when a driver puts on his brakes and the trailer begins to slide around the side of the cab. If the wheels catch it will trip the trailer and result in a rollover accident.

A jackknife accident begins in a very similar way. The diver puts on their brakes and the cab stops while the trailer does not. It will slide around the side of the cab until it is facing the opposite direction, pinning the cab in an unmovable position.
