Truck Accidents

These Cases Deserve a Detailed Analysis

Truck accidents are often caused by the carelessness of the truck driver. A safety study published by the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that a large number of truck drivers responsible for trucking accidents tested positive for drugs or alcohol.

Other major causes of trucking accidents are defective equipment, especially defective or out-of-adjustment brakes, drivers operating without sufficient rest, and trucking companies giving their drivers improper or inadequate training. Unfortunately, safety violations are common in those portions of the trucking industry where profits have been placed ahead of the driving public's safety.

Truck accident cases are a very special subgroup within the category of motor vehicle cases. Complex federal and state laws and regulations, difficulties in determining who is at fault, and unique products liability and insurance coverage questions all combine to make a truck accident case one that requires an extremely detailed analysis.
