An 18-wheeler accident is hard to imagine much less live through. A big rig or semi truck may be as much as 30 times larger than a passenger car. A collision with a semi truck or a 30-ton, 18-wheeler can have a devastating impact. Tractor-trailer injuries can be catastrophic and even fatal, which can open the door to a wrongful death lawsuit.
