Personal Injury

Below is useful information for Personal Injury: Truck Accidents

The following are some frequently answered questions concerning truck accidents:

Q: How are truck accidents different from auto accident claims?

A: There are specific state and federal laws that govern truck accident claims. These laws apply to the operation of semi trucks and big rigs and do not apply to regular passenger vehicles.  Also, semi truck owners are required to carry more extensive insurance coverage, the trucks are subject to a strictly controlled maintenance schedule, and drivers are required to track and limit their time on the road. However, all of these things are costly, and the large corporations that operate most semi trucks on the road are always looking for ways to increase their profit margin, and many of their cost-cutting techniques amount to negligence on their part that can increase the risks of severe injury on the road.

Q: What are some of the legal theories you use in truck accident claims?

A: Common and dangerous practices include:

  • Setting unrealistic schedules for deliveries that result in dangerous driving.
  • Encouraging drivers to stay on the road longer than guidelines allow, leading to dangerous levels of driver fatigue.
  • Overloading trucks, making them accidents waiting to happen.
  • Performing little or cursory maintenance on trucks, leading to tire blowouts, brake failures, or other dangerous mechanical problems.
  • Take shortcuts with tanker trucks carrying toxic cargoes down rural roads or through residential communities.
