Truck Accidents
The incidence of trucking collisions has risen aross the country.
Tractor-trailer and other commercial trucking collisions can be caused by a number of different factors, including driver fatigue, lack of driver training, overloaded or oversized trucks, driver inexperience, and excessive speed, and reckless driving. Unfortunately, the results of these collisions are catastrophic and often fatal. Those involved in trucking accidents, or the families of those that are injured, are often at a disadvantage because, while the victim or the family are coping with the aftermath, the trucking companies and their insurance companies are actively investigating the collision and preserving evidence to defend themselves and their driver.
