Our truck accident lawyers know how devastating these crashes are
When a vehicle becomes trapped underneath a semi-truck, these types of truck accidents are known as underride accidents. Because cars are smaller than tractor-trailers, severe injuries (including head injuries) and fatalities often occur because drivers and passengers in smaller vehicles become trapped underneath the trailer of the truck.
Knowing what to do after such a serious truck accident in Wichita can be overwhelming. Even knowing what your legal options are might not be clear. That’s why it’s critical that you have an attorney who knows how the legal system works in Sedgwick County. That’s why you need Bretz Injury Law.

Underride truck accidents happen for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes of underride accidents include:
- Semi-truck not equipped with underride truck guards designed to prevent such crashes.
- Defective brake lights on truck not working, resulting in car crashing into back of truck.
- Truck driver stopping quickly without warning, resulting in rear-end accident.
- Semi-truck jackknifing, resulting in an underride accident involving another car.
