Fuel Truck Accident Cases
Gas and fuel tanker trucks have a higher center of gravity than most other semi-trucks, especially if they are carrying a full load of fuel. This makes moving them harder to control and increases the possibility of a rollover. Drivers who carry these loads must be highly experienced and work with federal regulations.
When an oil and gas truck suffer an accident, it often results in serious injuries and death because of the huge weight of the cargo within the truck. Oil and gas trucks are supremely heavy and carry dangerous, flammable freight, which can lead to large fires. As well, the injuries sustained in a truck accident can lead to death.
If you are injured in a gas or oil truck accident, you could suffer severe pain and suffering, require surgery, or suffer burns related to the crash.
