A tractor-trailer can weigh 20 times more than a passenger vehicle, leaving the occupants of cars at risk of severe injuries in a crash.

Some of the most important include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Truck accidents cause more severe injuries and more expensive medical bills<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Because trucks weigh so much more than cars and sit higher off the road, they are more likely to cause serious, potentially fatal injuries when they collide with smaller vehicles. More severe injuries mean more expensive medical bills and more substantial long-term consequences. Because of that risk, trucking companies typically carry $1 million or more in liability coverage. That raises the stakes in a truck accident case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>More regulations apply to truck crash cases.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Truck drivers and trucking companies must follow many state and federal rules. These regulations cover everything from\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dmv.ri.gov\/licenses-permits-ids\/commercial\/commercial-driving-license-cdl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the requirements to obtain a commercial driver\u2019s license<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/regulations\/hours-service\/summary-hours-service-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how long truck drivers can go without stopping to rest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Understanding these regulations and how they apply to a truck accident case can significantly affect the outcome.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>More potentially liable parties are involved in truck crashes.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In a typical car accident, liability is confined to one or more of the drivers involved. But because of the complexities of the trucking industry, several parties could share responsibility for the accident. The more potentially liable parties, the more complicated the litigation can become.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Time Limit for Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Newport, RI<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhode Island\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webserver.rilegislature.gov\/\/Statutes\/TITLE9\/9-1\/9-1-14.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">statute of limitations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on personal injury cases gives you three years from a truck accident to file a lawsuit.
