  3. The Incredible Dangers of Large Trucks Large trucks, 18-wheelers, are seen all over the roads of Pittsburgh and the rest of Pennsylvania daily. They take up a lot of space, don’t accelerate quickly, and can be a hazard to all drivers when driven by an inexperienced, tired, or reckless operator.

  4. Some of the other dangers of large trucks include the following: Oversized loads ➔ Improperly secured loads ➔ Inexperienced, impaired, tired or distracted ➔ operator Road conditions ➔ Speed ➔ Blind spots (either side and rear) ➔ Defective truck parts ➔ Improperly maintained truck ➔

  5. The above list is just a sampling of the many ways a large truck can be dangerous to other vehicles on the roads of Pennsylvania. As a driver of a much smaller vehicle you need to be on your toes when operating near these dangerous machines. The truck can wind up changing course at a moment’s notice, leaving you with just seconds to react in an attempt to save your life.

  6. What to Do at an Accident Scene The actions you exhibit at a truck accident scene can either help or hurt your chances of winning any personal injury lawsuit you file following the crash. The most important thing you need to do is remain at the scene and call 911 immediately. Make sure you never utter the words ‘I’m sorry’ when speaking to the truck driver, other drivers involved, or even the police who respond. Even if you weren’t at fault in the crash saying these two words could easily derail your chances of receiving compensation in the case. Try to take pictures of the scene, including the damage to the vehicles involved, the debris on the road, your injuries, road signs and the road conditions.
