Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are all too common due to the size, difficult maneuverability and weight of large trucks and tractor-trailers. In addition, trucks are sometimes overloaded, drivers are fatigued or overworked, drivers do not have sufficient training, the truck has steering, brake or tire defects and/or the driver him/herself is driving dangerously or recklessly. When you look at the many variables that could contribute to truck accidents, it is easy to see why – due to these same factors – injuries sustained in truck accidents are often some of the most severe; they can include brain damage, spinal injuries, severe burns, multiple broken bones and, in the most extreme cases, death. Not only might the driver be liable for injuries sustained as a result of a trucking accident but, additionally, so might the owner of the truck, the manufacturer of truck parts, the company responsible for truck maintenance, a contractor involved in the business of the truck company or the driver’s employer. For you to get the recovery you deserve, you need to make sure the lawyers you choose have experience in this area of the law – as the attorneys do at our law firm – because there are often federal and interstate regulations and laws involved that, if properly pursued, can increase your potential recovery.
