Truck Driver vs. Truck Company Negligence

In the event of a personal injury, it is important to determine who or what is responsible for the accident in order to seek compensation from the responsible party. This can be difficult in tractor trailer accidents because multiple parties may be at fault. For instance, a driver may be held liable for falling asleep at the wheel, but the trucking company may also be responsible for forcing the driver to work beyond the federally regulated number of hours in a week.

Other causes of tractor trailer collisions include:

• Driver failed to inspect vehicle before getting on the road
• Trucking company failed to maintain the fleet
• Alcohol and drug abuse
• Defective products, such as brake failure
• Overloading or improperly loading trailers
• Failure to adjust driving for the weather or road conditions
• Speeding

Our skilled personal injury attorneys welcome the challenges that commercial vehicle and interstate trucking accidents bring. We thoroughly evaluate the factors and potential causes of your or your loved one's injuries. We also devote extensive resources to hiring accident experts, consulting physicians, and gathering other evidence to support your claim. You can be confident in our ability to obtain a favorable result.

All injury claims are governed by a statute of limitations. If you do not file your truck accident lawsuit in a timely fashion, you could be barred from receiving any compensation. Make sure this doesn't happen to you. Contact our law offices today.
