What are some examples of truck accidents?
Regardless of whether you’ve had a crash on rural roads in Western Australia or on Kwinana Freeway in Perth, we’re here to help you navigate the complexities of track accident claims. Some common types of truck accidents include:
* Collisions: When a truck hits another vehicle, either head-on or from the side (T-bone).
* Fatigue-related accidents: Often happen because of long working hours and tight schedules.
* Tire blowouts: Dangerous for trucks because of their heavy weight.
* Jackknife accidents: Caused by sudden braking, where the truck’s trailer swings and forms an angle with the cab.
* Underride accidents: Happen when a smaller vehicle crashes into the back or side of a truck and slides underneath.
* Passenger accidents: If you’re a passenger in a truck or another vehicle involved in the crash.
* Pedestrian accidents: If a truck hits you while you’re walking on the road.
What if I was driving the truck for work?
If you were driving the truck for your job at the time of the accident, you might be eligible for a workers’ compensation claim. This can include payments for lost income (often a percentage of your pre-injury income) and ongoing medical and rehabilitation costs.
