TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY
A truck accident is not the same as a car accident. Not only is the severity of the injuries and accidents greater, they are often more complicated also. Trucking accidents occur when gigantic trailers collide with either pedestrians or other vehicles. In most instances, these accidents lead to fatalities.
Heavy haulers kill hundreds of people every year and injure thousands. During the course of a single year, multiple wagons were involved in accidents all throughout the United States. While it’s always easier to assume that drivers are at fault in any accident, there are actually multiple factors that lead to such mishaps.
SOME OF THE COMMON CAUSES OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS INCLUDE:
- Driver fatigue
- Distracted driving
- Poor weather conditions
- Overloaded trucks
No matter what the reason is, whenever there is an accident, the concerned trucking company usually delegates the responsibility to trained lawyers in order to safeguard its interests.
