Jackknife Truck Accident

Jackknife Truck Accident Attorney in Hartford, CT

The hitch of a semitruck or tractor-trailer acts as a hinge in a jackknife accident. Due to the extreme weight and mass of truck-trailers, large trucks can easily jackknife when truck drivers need to slam on the brakes at high speed.When the trailer continues forward at a higher speed than the truck cab, the vehicles driving alongside or stopped on the side of the swinging trailer can experience intense collisions or get pinned between the truck’s trailer and guardrails or medians. The vehicles following the truck are confronted with a sudden wall across the road that is nearly impossible to avoid. Whether your car was struck or crushed by a jackknifed truck or involved in another type of collision, our jackknife truck accident law firm can help you recover maximum compensation that you deserve for damages and injuries.
