JACKKNIFE ACCIDENTS
South Carolina Trucking Accident Attorney
The state of South Carolina has many thousands of miles of highways, roads and interstates. These roadways allow travelers and vehicles access all over the entire state. Some of these vehicles are tractor trailers, which include semi-trucks, big rigs, logging trucks, tanker trucks and 18 wheelers. Due to their sheer size they can cause an extraordinary amount of damage and destruction if they are involved in an accident. One type of trucking accident is 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 cab portion of the vehicle skidding while towing a trailer causing the trailer to push from behind forcing it to spin around and face backwards.
