Truck Wrecks and Trucking Accidents

There are more than 3,000 death and more than 30,000 injuries resulting from accidents involving semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles every year. It takes experience and resources to maximize recovery for your clients from a major trucking corporation.

 

Most trucking accidents are caused by factors such as:

  • Defects in the truck
  • Unqualified drivers
  • Fatigued Drivers
  • Faulty Equipment and Maintenance
  • Overloaded Trailers

Too often trucking companies hire inexperienced and unqualified operators that are dangerous to the driving public. Even qualified truck drivers get fatigued by the long hours and many thousands of miles required by most trucking companies. These companies must be held accountable when they cut corners on training, maintenance, and safety.

Countless automobile drivers are injured or killed each year when truck drivers are negligent or their equipment fails. Safety equipment, such as under-ride guards designed to protect smaller vehicles in the event of a rear-end collision with a semi-truck, must be in good working order and maintained properly to adequately protect the driving public. Reflectors and proper lighting are important to these trucks for the protection of the motoring public.

  • Truck accidents involving heavily loaded tractor trailers and smaller passenger vehicles typically cause terrible, catastrophic injuries, sometimes resulting in death. All too often, these accidents are the result of truck drivers or trucking companies not doing their jobs.
  • If you have suffered a serious injury - or if your family member was killed in a truck accident - you should immediately speak with an experienced attorney. You may have grounds for a lawsuit to recover actual damages and punitive damages, which can compensate you for all expenses, past and future, resulting from your accident.
  • If you wait too long, you might lose evidence or forfeit the right to sue.
