If one of these things has happened to you or to somebody you love in Reston, it may be time to enlist the help of a reliable truck accident lawyer that is licensed to practice throughout VA, to find out what your and your loved ones’ rights are.

Dangers of Truck Accidents

Because of their size and the damage they can do, accidents with large trucks such as commercial 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, tend to be very, very scary.

Accidents with these kinds of trucks often cause fatalities that warrant the need for surviving family members to file a personal injury, wrongful death claim against the party or parties that caused the accident in order to protect their family’s financial future. When the kind damage they do does not cause people to die, they can still cause a horrific amount of damage to the bodies of people involved in the accident as well as to the property that was in harm’s way of the accident. The victims of these accidents and their family, have already suffered, they should not have to suffer financially because of this too. It is recommended that victims of Reston truck accidents seek the help of a reputable VA truck accident lawyer.

Some of the reasons accidents with large trucks can cause so much damage include but are not limited to:

– On average, a semi weighs 80,000 pounds compared to the average car that weighs a fraction of this at 5,000 pounds. Trucks called turnpike-doubles, can weigh up to 147,000 pounds.

– When a semi is connected to a trailer, it is usually 53 feet long but this can vary.

-Turnpike-doubles, consist of two 48-foot trailers connected to a semi. The average length of a car is only 15 feet long with many cars being significantly smaller than this.

– The average turning width for a semi is 55 feet, which is nearly 5 times larger than the width of an average road or highway lane in the U.S.

– It takes large trucks much longer to slow down, speed up and to execute maneuvers such as, changing lanes and making turns.

– While it is illegal for truckers to drive more than a certain amount of hours, many truckers drive while fatigued and/or under the influence

This was an awesome experience with Brittney Cassiere, Miriam Calisher, and my attorney Jill. What made me select Cohen & Cohen for my case, was my experience many years ago with Kim Brooks-Rodney. I definitely recommend anyone to use them. They have your best interest at hand.

I am very satisfied with the services provided by Cohen and Cohen. They were able to settle my case within less than a year and settled a fair amount in which I was expecting. They communicated very well throughout the process as well as made sure all boxes were checked off to ensure i received the best care and communication. I will recommend the services to anyone in these situations. Riley and Brittney were certainly very helpful during the process.

Lucas Baudry was my rep for this accident claim, and even though I had LOADS of questions and was a bit impatient, he was always responsive and quick to reply. We’re wrapping up now, and I really feel like he tried to have the best results in the end, and didn’t drag it out more than need be.
