Jackknife truck accidents can happen suddenly and leave people seriously hurt. Attorney Jeff Weinstein of Weinstein Law know the impact a jackknife accident can have on victims and their families. He fights the insurance companies on their behalf to help them recover financial compensation.
Here's how it usually happens: A semi-truck is traveling down the road when the driver starts to lose control. The driver slams on the brakes, the wheels lock up and the truck starts to skid. The trailer swings out in the shape of a jackknife. And the 18-wheeler crashes into anything in its path.
A fully loaded 18-wheeler can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. You can imagine the damage it can cause when it crashes into a car or pickup truck. Drivers and passengers can suffer serious injuries. They may need surgery, hospitalization, therapy and medication. The medical bills add up fast. And if they are left unable to work, it becomes near impossible to pay those bills.
