TRUCK TRAILER ACCIDENTS 

Due to the sheer size, weight, and speed at which trucks and tractor-trailers travel on our nation’s highways, accidents involving trucks and trailers can be catastrophic or even fatal. For a person or family member injured in such an accident, tracking down the proper trucking company that may be responsible can be an overwhelming burden. Many companies are interstate truckers and it is not clear from the placarding, what particular company may have been the employer of the driver, or have been legally responsible for the driver’s actions.  Trucking accidents can be caused by overloading, driver fatigue, excessive speed, malfunction or defective equipment, tire failure, and a failure to follow a myriad of state and federal regulations applying to trucking companies and their drivers. This site provides a great deal of information about trucking companies, the regulations that apply to them, and legal aspects of an injury claim involving these accidents. We also provide tips on to-do’s if you are involved in such a trucking accident.
