  2. Underride and override truck accidents Some of the deadliest types of crashes are underride and override truck accidents. Those who survive may suffer from severe or disabling injuries. Proving fault is important if a victim or the family of a loved one killed wishes to pursue legal action.

  3. What are underride/override accidents and what causes them? A truck accident of the underride variety occurs when a vehicle crashes into a truck and slides underneath. It usually happens in the back or on the side of the truck because the trailer is higher. An underride accident is more likely to occur with a smaller vehicle. The cause of an underride accident is sometimes the result of a vehicle following the truck too closely.

  4. In an override truck accident, the truck rides over the vehicle. This can happen in a head-on collision, especially when it involves high speeds. But a truck also can ride over the back of a vehicle. One of the three tips for safe driving around trucks at night is always to use your turn signals and headlights.

  5. What factors may affect liability in underride/override accidents? Negligence is the most important consideration when it comes to determining liability in an override truck accident. This requires looking at the actions of all involved drivers including, for example, traffic violations such as speeding or running a red light. Another is learning if distractions such as using a cellphone or eating were an issue. Impairment is another type of negligence.

  6. Is it necessary to hire an attorney after an underride/override truck accident? A victim must secure legal counsel if a truck crash resulted in serious injuries.
