Truck Accident Practice Areas

Drunk Driving

When a truck driver is drunk and is involved in an accident, their alcohol use is always a factor. If you were injured in a truck accident because of a drunk truck driver’s negligence, you have the power to hold them accountable for the harm they have caused.

Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is not limited to using a cell phone while behind the wheel. Eating, fiddling with on-screen controls, and other distractions can be just as dangerous. If a distracted truck driver caused your accident, we can help.

Driver Error

Truck drivers are required to hold a special license in order to operate an 18-wheeler. Nevertheless, these additional training and certification requirements do not necessarily mean that a truck driver will not make a costly mistake.

Driver Fatigue

Sometimes, truck drivers have hard deadlines that must be met, which can result in them driving while tired if they fall behind. While there are laws in place to ensure drivers don’t spend too many hours on the road, sometimes they aren’t strictly adhered to.

Failure to Maintain Vehicle

Trucking companies are obligated to maintain the safety of their trucks. These are huge machines that receive a lot of wear during their normal use. Therefore, when companies don’t perform regular maintenance on their vehicles, they can be responsible for accidents.

Improperly Loaded Cargo

When a truck’s cargo is loaded, its weight needs to be distributed across the trailer evenly. If cargo is improperly loaded, it can cause serious crashes. If you’ve been hurt as a result of improperly loaded cargo, reach out to our firm for a free consultation.
