Did Truck Driver Negligence Play A Role In The Accident?

Many truck drivers are under pressure to reach their destinations as quickly as possible. Under such conditions, it is not uncommon for truckers or their trucking companies to violate safety regulations laid down by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Examples of reckless driving or negligence on the part of truckers or trucking companies can include:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Truck driver fatigue caused by traveling more hours than legally allowed
  • Speeding
  • Improper loading of the truck
  • Overloaded trucks
  • Poor truck maintenance
  • Inappropriate stopping or parking on the shoulder or traveled portion of an off-ramp or highway

Collecting Vital Evidence On Your Behalf

In any motor vehicle accident, and particularly in truck accidents, it is important to preserve vital evidence before it disappears. Our lawyers can take prompt action to collect and protect evidence such as:

  • Trucking company’s maintenance records
  • Photographs of the accident scene
  • Witness testimony
