The Investigation is Critical

Our firm stresses the urgency of seeking legal help as soon as possible after the truck accident for this reason: the investigation is critical. Working with accident reconstruction experts, we can piece together what went wrong and who is responsible. Evidence such as black boxes, witnesses, and driver's logs can be easily manipulated or lost. Common causes of truck accidents include:

• Speeding
• Not appreciating dangerous road conditions such as rain
• Negligent background checks on truckers
• Trucker under influence of drugs or alcohol
• Neglecting regular maintenance
• Driver fatigue
• Other noncompliance with federal trucking regulations

With so many trucks traveling on interstate highways and other roads, occupants of passenger vehicles are increasingly put at risk. Various careless acts can result in truck jackknifes, rollovers, and collisions. Truckers and the companies that hire them need to be held accountable for the injuries incurred to innocent people because of a truck driver’s negligence. By their very nature, large trucks can cause serious injuries and fatalities to the people with whom they share the road.
