Involvement in an accident with a commercial heavy truck may result in serious injuries or even death. These trucks, be they a combination unit or a single truck, have GVWs of at least 10,900 kilograms. These include intercity buses, local buses, logging trucks, pole trailers, and combination units. These vehicles are heavier and larger, so they take longer to stop, particularly at high speeds. The drivers, passengers, and light truck operators of smaller vehicles are at a higher risk for injury or death when they crash with trucks. Commercial trucks must adhere to specific regulations and rules as they are licensed especially. The trucking company is responsible not only for the driving behavior of the driver but also for the way the truck is loaded and its cargo. They may also be responsible for the schedule or maintenance and servicing of the truck. There are many other parties and factors that can be at fault in a truck collision. It is important to speak with an attorney if you've been in a truck crash. We always advise that you consult one before you talk with the insurance representative.

Motorcycle operators and their passengers are generally at a much higher risk for injury and death than motorists in cars, trucks and SUVs. Even with riding gear and helmets, motorcyclists are much more exposed to the severe impact of colliding with other vehicles, the road or other objects. Because of this, a motorcyclist often sustains serious injuries when involved in a traffic accident. Head injuries are common as are road scrapes, burns, sprains, torn ligaments, fractures and internal injuries. Spinal cord injuries can also result, which are among the most serious and life-altering, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation and often unfortunately resulting in some degree of permanent disability.
