Commentary:
We can talk at length about whatever caused the truck to flip, but I’m more concerned with the truck’s structure after the accident. Did the truck’s passenger compartment hold up, or did it crumble like a tin can under the weight of the massive truck as I’ve seen in far too many accidents before? These trucks, believe it or not, are not constructed to be invincible. They may be large, they may be heavy, but that doesn’t mean they’d fare well in a crash. Think about the world record holding largest house of cards. Would you shelter from a tornado in such a structure? Absolutely not. Just because something is big, doesn’t mean it can withstand a massive disaster or impact. If the truck’s poor or substandard construction made this accident worse than it would have been in another vehicle, then the manufacturer could bear a portion of the liability in the accident.
