Sometimes a truck accident is just that – an accident that is no one’s fault. Yet unfortunately, many truck accidents are the result of careless driving and result in injuries that could and should have been avoided.
In 2010 alone, more than 140,000 accident injuries occurred due to truck accidents, and over one third of those injured in a truck accident suffered catastrophic injury.
You can protect yourself and your rights with these four steps:
Passing a semi-truck on the highway or interstate can be an unnerving experience, especially when the thought of being involved in an accident races through your head. Unfortunately that anxiety is felt for good reason, as semi-truck accidents and tractor trailer accidents often result in violent collisions and serious injuries.
While they may seem like similar occurrences, truck accidents are very different from car accidents due to another set of laws that govern truck driving and the trucking business. Unfortunately, not every lawyer knows how to properly proceed with a claim against a trucking business. We are experienced in litigating truck accidents – knowing the many laws and regulations that govern the trucking business, as well as the logs and records trucking companies are required to keep. Knowing how to gain access to these records and utilize them effectively can be the difference between success and failure when litigating truck accident claims.
