Trucking Accident Lawyers
18-Wheeler Accident Attorney
"54% of trucking deaths occurred in accidents in which vehicles rolled over."
—Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
Car drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists have little to protect them from serious injury or death when they are involved in an accident with large trucks. 18-wheelers can weigh up to 40 tons, and when accidents happens, it is tragic for all involved.
This is why safety should be the top priority of every company that employs tractor trailers and their drivers. Unfortunately this is not always the case. When a big rig truck or other commercial carrier vehicle is involved in an accident it is often caused by incomplete maintenance, improper driver training, careless driving, or drivers who are fatigued because of over-work. All of these are unacceptable excuses when you or a loved one has been seriously injured.
Our trucking accident trial lawyers are familiar with both federal and state laws that regulate trucking companies and drivers and are experienced in handling hundreds of 18-wheeler cases . We will aggressively investigate your case and hold all responsible parties to justice.
Key Factors Cause Truck Accidents
- Inattentive driving
- Cell phone use while driving
- Drug or alcohol use by the truck driver
- Improper or unfinished truck inspections
- Defective truck parts such as tires, brakes or transmissions
- Incomplete or non-existent training of the truck driver
- Driver Fatigue
On the Scene
Because truck accidents occur so often, many trucking companies have staff on hand who will immediately send someone to the scene of the accident in order to pressure the victim to sign away his or her rights to a lawsuit. Remember that any representative from the trucking or insurance company is not your friend.
