Jacknife Trucking Accident Lawyer Delaware
Wilmington, Delaware Truck Accident Attorney
The State of Delaware has many of miles of roads and highways. Delaware also has major interstates running through our state. Tractor-trailers, also known as semi-trucks, big rigs and 18 wheelers, make up a large portion of the vehicles which travel on Delaware's roads. In the event of an accident, they can cause an extraordinary amount of damage, destruction, and wreckage. One common type of trucking accident that occurs at high speeds is what is known as a 'jacknife' accident. A jack-knife accident occurs once a tractor trailer has folded during a skid. As the name implies, it ultimately resembles a folding pocketknife. A jack-knife accident is a direct result of the skidding cab portion of the vehicle causing the trailer to push from behind forcing it to spin around and face backwards.

Jack Knife Accident Injuries
A jack-knife accident can be very complicated and cause catastrophic damage to the vehicles, drivers, and passengers involved. Vehicles involved are frequently damaged beyond repair. Once the accident is over traffic typically comes to a complete standstill for an extended period of time as the vehicles involved can take up several lanes of traffic. Cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles that were traveling parallel to the tractor trailer often suffer the most severe damage. Drivers and passengers inside those vehicles typically suffer the most debilitating injuries. Some of these injuries can include head, neck, and spinal cord injuries. Soft tissue injuries such as whiplash, musculoskeletal, and connective tissue injuries are also common. Due to the high speed at which a jack-knife accident occurs, wrongful death can also result from a jack-knife accident.
