Skilled Representation in Commercial Truck Accident Cases
Truck drivers and semi-truck companies need to be held accountable for negligence that caused others to suffer harm. Motorists face significant risks when sharing the roads with semi-trucks. The federal government has safety regulations in place relating to issues such as speed, the overtaking of other vehicles, loading procedures, and the length of time truck drivers can spend on the road each day. However, violations of these regulations often occur, and when accidents occur as a result, truck drivers and trucking companies may be held liable for their negligence. Some common issues that can increase the risks of dangerous 18-wheeler accidents include:
- Driver error and driver fatigue
- Equipment failure due to inadequate maintenance
- Misloaded or overloaded cargo
- Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failure to follow trucking regulations
Our truck accident attorneys are skilled at analyzing drivers' logs and GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) devices to determine if a truck driver was following the proper safety precautions and trucking regulations before the accident occurred. If your accident was caused by a truck driver's negligence, the semi-truck company and driver may be required to pay financial compensation for your damages, including medical expenses, loss of wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
