Causes of Truck Accidents
The majority of truck accidents are caused by:
- Equipment Failure
- Jack-knifing
- Overload or a shift in load
- Trucker fatigue
- Insufficient stopping distance
- Blind spots
Most major trucking companies have paid attorneys who are ready to go to work whenever an accident occurs. While these attorneys may promise to pay you quickly, their top priority is settling for an amount often less than you deserve. They are not concerned about giving you the financial resources you need to cover all of your damages and ensure a proper recovery. Because these attorneys stand ready to minimize your claim, it is important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to make sure your rights are being protected and fought for.
Truck accident claims are often more complicated than car accident claims. In order to pursue a case, your personal injury attorney must have an understanding of all of the federal, state, and local trucking regulations that might apply to your case.
