Trucking Companies Place Money Over People
Truck drivers are often pressured to violate state and federal regulations that limit the amount of hours they can be on the road in order to haul more cargo and make more money for trucking companies. Drivers who violate regulations and companies that encourage drivers to extend their hours can be held liable for damages in the event of injuries or wrongful death in a truck accident.
Beyond violating regulations regarding rest time for drivers, we handle claims involving other truck driver negligence, including:
- Overweight trucks
- Speeding
- Inattentive driving
- Reckless driving
- Drunk driving
- Cell phone use
We fight aggressively for the rights of our clients, seeking to maximize their claims for damages, which might include items such as medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. We have obtained excellent results for past clients and have been recognized by organizations such as Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum for our legal representation and ethics.
