Our roads are filled with large trucks. While this is necessary for the economy, it can be bad news for drivers who must share the roads with these big rigs. Truck drivers are often overworked and under-rested, leading to the negligent operation of an enormous vehicle.
Truck Accidents
Trucks cause catastrophic injuries or death when they are involved in an accident with a car, a motorcycle, or a smaller truck. When those accidents and injuries are the result of negligence, the law provides compensation to victims or their families.
Commercial truck drivers, trucking companies and corporate insurers are extremely aggressive in denying fault for serious, injury-causing accidents. Their array of tactics, including blaming other drivers and covering up violations of trucking laws, makes it especially essential to contact a lawyer with the relevant experience to protect your interests.
