Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses how truck accident cases are different from other motor vehicle accident cases. He explains that tractor-trailers and commercial trucks pose unique challenges and risks due to their size and potential for causing significant harm, even in minor collisions, because of their mass and weight. Driving these vehicles requires specialized skills and knowledge, as there are numerous regulations governing their operation. These regulations encompass pre-trip inspections, limitations on driving hours per day and week, and various obligations on the employer of the truck driver. As a result, cases involving these trucks are often more complex than typical car accidents, and the injuries they cause tend to be more severe.
