Why Do Car Wrecks in Kansas with Semi-trucks Cause Such Devastating Injuries?
Drastic Weight Ratio Differences
The weight of semi-trucks can reach up to 80,000 lbs. Many cars are smaller while pickups may be a little heavier. Regardless, the weight ratio difference between a smaller motor vehicle and the larger tractor-trailers will normally cause substantial property damage and bodily injuries.

Property Damage
When a large truck is negligent and at fault the resulting impact will normally destroy the smaller vehicle. The force of the impact between an 18-wheeler and a passenger vehicle usually completely devastates the passenger vehicle.
Injuries
Most people in passenger cars have a collision with a large truck and end up on the losing side in regard to their bodily injuries. The tremendous force of the impact will send energy through the smaller vehicle and normally cause broke bones, torn ligaments, head injuries and require hospitalization.
Need for Experienced Truck Accident Attorney

This means that you need to only consider a trucking lawyer with high expertise in evaluating truck driver fault who understands legal claims for negligent hiring, negligent training, and supervision.
