What is an underride accident?
An underride accident happens when a car ends up underneath the trailer of a truck. These collisions are especially dangerous because:
- The impact is often at head level: This leads to serious injuries like traumatic brain injuries or even decapitation in some cases.
- The car can be crushed or trapped: Rescue efforts are more difficult, delaying critical medical care.
- Most vehicles aren’t equipped to handle this type of collision: Even with airbags and other safety features, smaller vehicles can’t protect occupants in an underride crash.
What causes underride accidents?
These accidents are often preventable, which makes them all the more tragic. Some common causes include:
- Lack of underride guards: Many trucks don’t have rear or side guards to prevent cars from sliding underneath.
- Sudden stops: When a truck stops abruptly, vehicles following too closely may not have time to avoid a collision.
- Poor visibility: Inadequate reflectors, bad weather, or poor lighting can make it hard for drivers to see a truck in time.
- Driver negligence: Reckless lane changes, failing to signal, or distracted driving can all contribute to underride crashes.
We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.
What are common underride accident injuries?
The injuries sustained in underride accidents are often catastrophic, leaving victims with long-term physical, emotional, and financial challenges. These types of accidents involve a smaller vehicle colliding with the underside of a truck, and the results can be devastating. Victims commonly suffer from:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe cuts and lacerations
- Fractures and broken bones
- Internal injuries and organ damage
- Fatalities in the most tragic cases
The emotional toll and financial burden can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why it’s so important to seek legal help.
