Truck Accident Cases

We handle trucking accident lawsuits that entail:

• Untrained drivers
• Overloaded trucks
• Speeding trucks
• Poorly maintained or defective trucks
• Fatigued drivers who have been driving too long without a break
• Serious injury such as TBI or spinal injury
• Wrongful death
• Truck drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Trucking accidents are more complicated than car accidents because of the commercial entities involved. There are state and federal laws to consider as well as Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. There is also the challenge of tracking down the responsible parties.

Fortunately, there are number of tools at our disposal. With the global positioning system (GPS) available on more and more trucks, we can track where that truck was located, the time of day the accident took place, and how fast the truck was going. Many trucks also have black boxes similar to the ones on airplanes. They give accurate readings of the truck's speed, steering, lights, and so on. Even without a black box, we can still obtain the driver's logs. The logs tell us how long the driver was on the road, and when he or she stopped to rest.

No Time to Lose

If you are considering a truck accident lawsuit, time is of the essence. Companies may dispose of incriminating logbooks. For more details, call our office. We look forward to hearing from you.
