Semi-trailer accidents are the most deadly of all vehicle accidents, whether in Atlanta u-Bahn area or elsewhere in very Georgia. With the auto accidents involving tractor-trailers and cars, the results of a collision lead often cause severe damage, debilitating injuries and even death. The massive size of a semi-trailer truck when compared to an average car means that it usually the occupants of other suffering serious injuries.

One of the most dangerous types of commercial truck accidents for occupant of a car is known to be under-ride accident.

Those who often on commercial truck under-ride accidents happen miracle as drivers passenger an error can occur, big rig see the 48 meters long and 13 meters high. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined that one of the biggest contributing factors in driver expectation. A driver is not only something as big as a semitrailer rig extended to see from across the street. This element of surprise affects the perception of response time (PRT) a driver of a PRT driver add about 1.5-2 seconds. The PRT is how long it takes someone actually a cognitive decision making that they actually see something like a semi-trailer for. If an oncoming vehicle with 50 miles per hour (75 feet per second) on the road and one's PRT is than 2 seconds, for example, his or her vehicle travel 150 meters is or more before they actually respond and do prevent you something for a possible collision.

Visibility is a further factor contributing to these types of crashes. People notice no bad Gesamtmasse(n), until it is too late. In the night, big rig along Interstates are dark contours against a dark background. Although the lights on the truck as an outline can be displayed may be to make the actual shape of the vehicle. Sometimes, the truck with a specific colour such as white or silver lamps are equipped. If these lamps are particularly strong in foggy weather. Although red or yellow lights the sides or rear to mark the ambient lighting of companies on busy highways often you can find these colors by a truck under Acer.

Compounding this visibility issues is the fact, that bars most vehicles not positioned the actual headlamps are good, some as high as a bed of a truck to light. The lights on a vehicle in a car are approximately 24-27 cm and about 33 inch spot for SUVs and pick-up trucks. The most followers are about 4 meters above the ground beds on semitrailer. This means that the brightest place encounters a headlight under the bed of a trailer of a dipped-beam headlamps. A trailer that is incorrectly marked with reflective tape or falls in dirt the lack of visible light on the sides or rear of a truck could.

Width round or turns truck drivers are also a common cause for these types of fatal truck accidents. The truck cabin with view of oncoming traffic is usually in the middle of a turn with the truck. This is deceiving to the driver on the other side of the road, because it looks like the truck toward them in the other lane of the road is on the way. This can lead to the visual illusion that the trailer directly behind the car in the street, others is stretched out in their lane right in the path of their car.

Federal and state laws have to with semi-trailer risks to meet adopted under-ride accidents, but these measures are often ignored or invalid. Not that these required security measures implement many truck companies. Commercial vehicles are now to only 22 inches or less from the ground, cars going below the back to prevent trailer. Since 1993 have been truck put reflective tape on the sides and back of the truck so that they better visible to other drivers required. Dirty trucks and vehicles, which do not observe the rules mean that under-ride accidents still occur and kill people every year. All occupants in a car who suffers serious injury or wrongful death in a semi-trailer can under-ride accident on a right be compensated if the transport company has failed for the operation of the vehicle and to provide, to prevent the truck under-ride accidents. A passenger in a car under a truck is caught may also have a right to compensation from the driver the car.
