18-Wheeler Accidents

If you or someone close to you is been seriously hurt or killed in a crash involving an 18 wheeler, you have a special case. 18 wheelers are big, they weigh 80,000 pounds that's about 20 times the weight of a car but there's more to this case but simply masked, there are special rules that apply to commercial motor vehicles. The federal motor carrier vehicle safety regulations will often apply.
