Causes Of Tractor-Trailer Wrecks

The sad truth is that most truck accidents are completely preventable. Common causes and contributing factors include:

• Drowsy drivers
• Distracted drivers
• Inadequate maintenance
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Defective truck parts

We thoroughly investigate 18-wheeler accidents to determine their causes and then pursue compensation from all available sources. These can include negligent drivers, trucking companies, parts manufacturers, and other parties associated with the trucking industry.

You can rely on our lawyers to handle all of your legal issues so you can keep your focus on recovering from your injuries and taking care of your family.

How Dangerous Are Truck Accidents?

For reasons that should be obvious, 18-wheeler accidents are more likely than other types of motor vehicle crashes to result in life-changing injuries, permanent disabilities or death.

Victims lucky enough to survive often suffer serious injuries that include:

• Traumatic brain injuries can impair cognitive functioning for years or a lifetime and are very expensive to treat.
• Neck, back, and spinal cord injuries can have consequences ranging from chronic pain to limited mobility and even paralysis. Victims may be unable to continue the work that they did before the accident or unable to work at all.
• Crushed limbs that greatly limit daily activities, independence and quality of life. Truck accidents that occur near oil fields or construction sites often result in career-ending injuries for these workers, who typically cannot continue doing their jobs with one or more missing limbs.
• Severe burn injuries are highly painful, life-threatening and disfiguring. They require years and dozens of surgeries to treat. They are especially likely to occur in pile-up crashes and jack-knife accidents because multiple vehicles are involved and it is difficult for emergency responders to reach individual victims quickly.

Sadly, the difficulties do not end after receiving medical treatment. Victims and their families are often forced to fight with insurance companies that intentionally undervalue their claim and make quick, low-ball settlement offers. They don’t care about making victims whole – they care about their own bottom line.

Insurance companies may be powerful, but you don’t have to fight them alone. Instead, put our experienced attorneys in your corner. Our team is highly knowledgeable about the laws and regulations governing common carriers, and they use their knowledge and experience to forcefully negotiate higher settlements. If needed, they are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
