Jackknife Truck Accidents

Orlando Truck Accident Attorney

One of the most dangerous situations that a truck can get into when it jackknifes. When a truck’s trailer skids, it can swing around and form a 90-degree angle with the cab, putting everyone on the road in danger. Most often, this occurs when the cab’s wheels lock into place when the truck gets to patch of wet or slippery road. Although the wheels are locked, the trailer continues to move forward, causing it to swing dangerously to the side.

When a truck jackknifes, it could cause a multi-vehicle pileup or potentially end with a truck rollover. Anyone in the truck’s path could be in danger of sustaining serious or fatal injuries, including:

Liable Parties in Jackknifing Accidents

When a truck jackknifes, it is usually because the driver was driving in an unsafe manner for current weather conditions. For example, speeding in the rain greatly increases the chance that the driver will cause an accident. Another cause of jackknife accidents includes failure to properly maintain the truck, such as failing to replace worn tires. While most truck companies and drivers are responsible in this regard, negligence still sometimes happens.

The following parties may be held accountable for a jackknife truck accident:

  • The truck driver
  • The truck company
  • The maintenance company or mechanic
  • Government entities responsible for maintaining roadways
