Truck Accident Lawyer Reveals Dangers with Underride Protection

A recent study released by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety detaling tests the entity has performed has revealed shocking news. The U.S. government sets standards for and mandates the use of underride prevention devices on the rear of 18-wheeler trailers. These are the metal beams that hang down from the back of the trailer. Since the 1970's the dangers of cars passing underneath the rear of trailers have been known. The underride protective devices were thought to have prevented this.

This study shows the protective devices made to the U.S. standard decapitated the test crash dummies in half of the tests. Trailer underride guards made to the Canadian standard performed better in the tests.
