The negligence of truck drivers, and the companies that oversee them, can lead to the severe injury of others.

Truck accidents can happen in ways that are similar to any motor vehicle accident, however, they are often more damaging because of the truck’s size and weight. Trucks are also much more difficult to control than other vehicles, so any mistakes are harder to correct.
Types of truck accidents may include:
Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are most often caused by negligence throughout the trucking company, and caused by the actions of the drivers and their employers. Negligence at any level of a trucking operation can lead to accidents and injuries.
Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
Following a truck accident, your top priority should be your health and safety. It is important to find medical care as soon as possible.
Once you (or a loved one who was injured in a truck accident) receives medical care, you can begin building your case. The evidence that is gathered in the immediate aftermath of a truck accident will be essential for proving the driver and trucking company’s negligence and recovering compensation for your injuries.
Evidence that can be helpful in a truck accident case may include your medical records and bills, photographs of the scene and your injuries, the trucker’s trip logs and maintenance records, data from the vehicle’s black box, surveillance footage, and more. Our lawyers can assist you with gathering evidence, establishing liability, and creating your case.

Truck accidents are commonly the result of negligence by the truck driver and the company they work for. Although truckers are responsible for their individual actions while behind the wheel, those actions and other issues can be caused by negligence throughout a trucking company’s operations.
For example, the trucker’s employer may have failed to properly train their drivers. Or, they may not have taken care to hire competent drivers in the first place. Trucking companies are also responsible for maintaining their vehicles and monitoring safety throughout their operation. The failure to meet any of these responsibilities can lead to truck accidents.
