What is a Cement Truck?

A cement truck is an industrial truck designed to haul cement and prevent it from hardening while in transport. They are recognizable due to the enormous, spinning drums on the trailer, which is where the constantly-stirring cement is stored.

Cement trucks are often owned by an industrial or construction company that hires commercial truck drivers to operate the vehicle for projects. They can also be owned or leased to individual workers who then offer the truck’s services for hire. For this reason, the defendants in a cement truck accident claim can vary.

Dangers of Cement Trucks

Cement trucks can be more dangerous on the road than the average truck because of their:

• Large blind spots: The large cement drum on the back of a cement truck makes for unusual blind spots. If a driver cannot see a cement truck driver in a side mirror, then it is likely that the cement truck driver cannot see the smaller vehicle.
• Extremely heavy weight: Although cement trucks can be small in comparison to some 18-wheelers, they often weigh the same due to the large amount of cement stored in the drum. An inexperienced cement truck driver can also struggle to control a cement truck with an empty drum because of the unexpectedly light tonnage.

Cement Truck Accident Injuries

It is not unusual for someone who is hit by a cement truck to suffer catastrophic injuries. The massive weight of the vehicle creates a huge force differential between it and a smaller vehicle, which results in the worst of the impact being placed on the smaller vehicle.

We can help if you suffered the following injuries in a cement truck accident:

• Amputation injury
• Brain injury (TBI)
• Burn injury
• Spinal cord injury

Our attorneys can handle sensitive wrongful death claims after fatal cement truck accidents, too. Please rely on us if you lost a loved one due to a collision with a cement truck in Oklahoma City.
