Truck Accidents/Big Rig Collisions

To locate an Oregon trucking accident attorney, please click here

Trucking accidents is the term commonly given collisions between large trucks (vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds) and moving passenger vehicles, other trucks, parked vehicles, or pedestrians. In 2000, one out of every eight fatal car accidents involved a large truck. This can be attributed not only to the size and weight of these trucks but also to significant blind spots in the field of view of truck drivers.

If involved in a trucking accident file a report to have documentation of the trucking accident occurring and obtain all necessary information. Accident information includes:

• Get a copy of the accident report.
• Identify witnesses (get the names, addresses and phone numbers of as many witnesses as possible).
• Take photos of the scene.
• Get the name of the driver and any other occupants of the tractor-trailer.
• Get the name of the owner of the truck and all insurance information.
• Get copies of all records relating to the maintenance of the tractor-trailer as well as the driver's log.
