Truck Accidents

Our attorneys provide the guidance and negotiating skills that clients need to navigate the complexities of a truck accident case.

Every year, police report hundreds of thousands of crashes involving large trucks on U.S. roadways. Thousands of people are killed and many more injured — most of them not occupants of the trucks. Further, the number of people injured in accidents involving large trucks has been climbing.

Driver fatigue is a common cause of these accidents. For trucking firms, time is money and they may demand unreasonable schedules. Other causes might be an improperly loaded truck or defective equipment. Roadway maintenance can be an issue as well. Driver inexperience, even intoxication, may play a role.
