Although the size and weight of 18-wheeler trucks make them potentially deadly when involved in an accident, one of the most dangerous things about tractor-trailer trucks is the cargo they are carrying. In fact, some of the most deadly accidents involve logging trucks or tractor-trailers carrying heavy equipment. When a semi truck's goods or merchandise becomes loose and falls off of the trailer, any motor vehicle in the path of those falling items could be involved in a severe, multi-vehicle crash. Those motorists involved in such an accident could sustain severe, life-threatening impalement injuries if the objects strike a motor vehicle's windshield. Motorists could sustain burns and other severe injuries if flammable, hazardous, or toxic materials leak or fall from the truck transporting these materials.
Discussions about 18-wheeler truck accidents usually focus on passenger vehicle victims and/or injured pedestrians. This is because those who are typically injured or killed in trucking accidents are those people who were riding in smaller vehicles or were pesestrians. In many truck accidents, the truck driver is uninjured due to the amount of steel that surrounds them in a tractor-trailer truck. However, there are some accidents that injure or kill truck drivers.
Paraquat is a highly toxic herbicide that unfortunately is extremely common in the United States. It has been used by commercial farmers and other agricultural workers in the United States since 1964. It’s predominantly used to control weeds and grasses in commercial crops such as corn, soy, and cotton.
If you or a loved one have been harmed in an 18-wheeler accident, you and/or you loved one will tragically endure significant pain and suffering, economic burdens, property loss, and substantial medical costs. This can be an extremely stressful time for your family. Unfortunately, Insurance companies know that these accident cases carry substantial policy limits and the payouts could reach a million dollars or more depending on the facts and circumstances of the accident. Therefore, insurance company representatives and claims adjusters often try to take advantage of the claimants state of mind after an accident. Remember, insurance claims adjusters' top goal is to payout as little as possible or avoid paying on claims.
According to an Insurance Research Council (IRC) study:

If the accident was not your fault, and the date of the accident falls within the correct statute of limitations, you or your loved one could be qualified to file a claim to recover compensation for medical expenses, property damages, and other damages.

Most people just assume staircases will bear our weight when they do not appear to be damaged. This is especially true when the staircase is made out of solid materials like concrete. However, staircases can become dangerous when they are not adequately maintained. Even when defects are detected and repaired, a stairway can worsen in integrity due to constant use over time. When a stairway collapses, the results can be catastrophic.
