Our nation’s infrastructure may be causing an increase in tractor trailer crashes.

An overall grade of “D.” That’s the dismal rating that the American Society of Civil Engineers gives to America’s road system. Experts say that unresolved problems with our highways caused a 7% increase in traffic fatalities from 2014 to 2015 alone.

Driven by politics, not by the public good – The CED points out that many road and bridge projects are motivated more by political considerations than by rational, data-driven decision-making.

Injuries from an accident with a semi can have life-altering consequences for years to come.

Big, Semi-blind, and Barreling Down the Highway. That phrase does a pretty fair job of describing the dilemma posed by large commercial trucks. Of course, these big rigs are important to our modern way of life. But they can also create serious dangers for people in everyday passenger vehicles.

What a Truck Accident Can Mean

That’s the size and weight of a semi-truck pulling a trailer filled with heavy goods. It’s easy to see why a vehicle of such massive proportions can cause serious damage if it gets out of control.

Finding yourself trapped in one of a truck’s many blind spots is disturbingly easy. They exist on both sides of the vehicle, as well as the front and rear. For your own safety, stay out of these zones, if at all possible.

The image of a stressed-out trucker driving too fast is more than a stereotype. It’s a problem that’s known and discussed within the truck driving community itself.

Rutter Mills Team Meeting

Truck Accident Attorneys

Trucking plays an important role in U.S. commerce, but a serious truck accident can leave an individual and their family to deal with the life-altering impact for years to come.

These types of vehicle accidents are far more likely to cause serious injury or even fatality than accidents involving only passenger vehicles. The 18-wheeler accident lawyers at Rutter Mills specialize in cases involving serious injuries, so we know how to tackle commercial truck accidents and recover maximum money compensation for our clients.

In Virginia, accident victims need to prove the fault of the other party in order to recover compensation for their injuries. In accidents involving semi-tractor trailers, some of the most common causes are completely avoidable. If you have been impacted by someone else’s mistake, call the tractor trailer attorneys at Rutter Mills to see how we can help you on the road to recovery.

At Rutter Mills,
every case is a serious case-because it's your case.

Sarice G.

Mr. Young and Ms. Kathy Saunders went above and beyond for me. The day I walked into Mr. Young's office I thought there was no hope for my case and I would never be made whole. I can say two and a half weeks ago my case was settled above and beyond my expectations. After 4 long years I have finally been made whole. Thank you Mr. Young and Ms Kathy. You saved my life.

Natea W.
