Texas Truck Accident Lawyer Discusses Sideswipe Semi-Truck Crashes

Texas Truck Accident Lawyer Discusses Sideswipe Semi-Truck Crashes

Dallas, 06/16/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Semi-trucks are among the largest vehicles on the road. They dominate the highways, and their wide widths mean they stretch across their entire lane.

These massive vehicles don’t have a lot of room for error. If they veer even a foot over the lane divider, they can sideswipe a vehicle, causing the vehicle’s driver to lose control and cause a serious wreck.

What is a Semi Sideswipe and Why Is It Worse Than a Regular Sideswipe Crash?

A sideswipe accident occurs when one vehicle driving next to another vehicle in the same direction bumps or crashes into the other vehicle. Sideswipes can also happen when a vehicle is trying to enter a highway via an on-ramp and doesn’t see another vehicle approaching. In many cases, a driver sideswipes another vehicle because the driver wasn’t paying attention to their surroundings.  

When two regular cars are traveling side by side, a sideswipe doesn’t always result in a serious crash.

However, a semi that sideswipes a standard car or SUV can cause a major crash. This is because the accident usually doesn’t end with a sideswipe. Instead, the massive size and weight of the semi has the capability to push the car off the road or into a concrete barrier. On busy multi-lane highways, a semi might even sideswipe a car and force it into the next lane, causing a chain reaction crash involving several vehicles.

If a semi sideswipes a vehicle hard enough, it can even force the car off the road, causing it to roll.

Cars Have Little Protection Against Sideswipe Crashes

Semi-truck sideswipe accidents are also dangerous because the impact occurs in the least protected area of the vehicle.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), about a quarter of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in the U.S. are caused by side crashes. The front and rear of a vehicle are the most protected areas. Airbags and bumpers absorb the majority of the impact in a crash.

In a wreck involving a side impact, however, there is little space or density to absorb the force of the impact. The IIHS states that modern vehicles are usually equipped with side airbags, which improve a driver’s chances of surviving a sideswipe accident, but most older vehicles do not.
