Pursuing Money Damages for Catastrophic Injuries
Tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks have the potential to cause enormous damage if they are involved in accidents on the roads and highways. Such vehicles are simply more likely to be involved in accidents and cause severe harm. Among the things that make trucks particularly dangerous are:
- High weight
- Limited stopping ability
- Limited visibility
When a truck hits a car, the enormous weight difference can cause serious injuries such as head and spinal cord injuries. When a truck hits a motorcyclist or pedestrian, the damage is often worse. That is why truck drivers and trucking companies have special safety rules and industry procedures that apply only to them.
Determining Who Caused Your Accident and Seeking Compensation
Our attorneys are experienced at holding truckers, truck owners, shipping companies, and trucking vendors accountable when their negligence contributes to truck accidents. We make sure to secure documented evidence of important issues such as:
- Was the truck overweight? Did it stop at required weigh stations?
- Were there mechanical problems that should have been detected?
- Was the driver well-rested?
- Was the truck packed properly?
The answers to these and related questions can play an important role in determining who is responsible for compensating the victim or victims. To get one of our lawyers started on the process of investigating your case, contact us today.
