Seeking Justice For Truck Accident Victims And Their Loved Ones

Collisions with 18-wheelers or commercial trucks rarely end well. Those in passenger vehicles may end up with life-altering injuries if they survive. Sadly, fatalities are all too common. Thousands of people die in truck accidents every year, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Why Trucking Accident Cases Are So Much More Challenging

Truck accidents are different from other types of car accident cases. They’re much more complex. Multiple parties may be at fault, including:

• The truck driver
• The driver’s employer
• The dispatcher
• The shipper
• The truck mechanic or maintenance company
• The truck or parts manufacturer

Pinpointing who is at fault depends on a thorough investigation. It’s often necessary to dig deep to get to the root cause of the accident, which might include:

• Driver fatigue
• Intoxicated driving
• Negligent hiring practices on the part of the trucking company
• Pressure to falsify logbooks and drive longer hours than allowed under federal law
• Driver distraction
• Unbalanced loads

We know how to gather evidence swiftly and effectively in order to hold the right parties accountable. Our goal is to provide you with every option available to pursue maximum compensation. To that end, we work tirelessly to ensure that critical evidence and negligent parties don’t get overlooked.
