Used to haul freight long distances, a big rig is a large truck that has a trailer attached to it. Its full name is a tractor-semi trailer combination vehicle. Other common names include semi-trailer truck, tractor-trailer, or 18-wheeler.

A big rig accident has the potential to cause severe damage and injury. To make matters more difficult, trucking companies work with powerful insurance companies and law firms.
