Truck Accidents

The size and weight of a truck colliding with a normal sized vehicle is catastrophic in itself. The results can be devastating for the occupants of the normal sized vehicle. Our professionals understand the severity of your situation and the various factors that can contribute to a truck collision.

Driver error is the highest contributing factor to truck accidents. It is extremely important that truck drivers receive quality training in the operation of trucks. Poor training results in poor judgment and driver error.

Scheduling demands lead to many truck drivers becoming fatigued and overly stressed. The fatigue and stress can lead to alcohol or stimulant abuse which greatly impairs the driver's ability to properly operate the truck. Over 30% of fatally injured truck drivers test positive for drugs or alcohol. Federal law addressed the fatigue issue by placing a limit on the hours a trucker is allowed to drive. Fatigue still remains a high risk factor for accidents. Unfortunately, many companies still make unreasonable demands on their drivers.
