What Is an Underride Truck Accident?

An underride accident happens when a passenger vehicle becomes lodged underneath the rear or side of a tractor-trailer. Because commercial trailers sit significantly higher than passenger vehicles, your car’s safety systems may not work as designed during impact.

Who Can Be Sued After an Underride Truck Accident?

Many underride crashes involve multiple responsible parties. The truck driver may be liable for speeding, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, following too closely, or failing to yield.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If you were seriously injured, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering.
