Tractor-Trailer Accident Lawyers
Large vehicles, primarily trucks, are a crucial and omnipresent feature on the American road. Their turning radius is one of their most distinctive features and is a great deal larger than that of most vehicles. While driving tractor trailers must swing to the opposite side before turning to give themselves road clearance, and many drivers mistake this swing for a shift in their arc. When motorists who mistake the swing attempt to pass a turning truck on the right they may face extensive vehicle damage and physical injuries. The North Carolina and South Carolina personal injury attorneys at Grimes Teich Anderson are experienced in handling accidents involving tractor-trailer rigs and may be able to help you if you have been involved in this type of accident called a squeeze play.
Squeeze play accidents put vehicles in angles which expose motorists to a number of injuries, many of which are common in all car accident cases but several of which are uniquely common in wide turn/squeeze play accidents. These injuries may include broken bones, internal bleeding, organ failure, paraplegia or other forms of paralysis, cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, severed limb(s), and spinal cord damage. In order to maintain their special licenses, drivers of tractor-trailer rigs must be familiar with every scenario that has appeared in patterns to challenge truck drivers in the past. Squeeze plays are among these common scenarios. If you have been injured in a squeeze play, please all one of our North Carolina or South Carolina personal injury lawyers today.

Tractor trailer drivers are contracted by massive firms with resources to defend their public image and their profit margins since each, and every payout to accident victims involving their drivers follows a trucking group in a permanent file. There are employees in corporate groups whose entire job revolves around blocking payouts and keeping these detrimental marks off the contracting record so that future profits are not risked by past driver negligence.
