Tractor Trailer Accidents
Unfortunately, tractor trailer accidents increase each year. Many factors include: lack of staff; tight delivery deadlines; negligent hiring of drivers with a history of known traffic violations; driver fatigue; aggressive driving; speeding; driving too fast for conditions; illegal traffic maneuvers; failure to keep the tractor and trailer properly maintained (i.e., faulty tires, faulty brakes); distracted drivers; drivers texting or on their cell phones, all of which can lead to devastating trucking accidents. Tractor Trailer accidents include large commercial vehicles; semi trucks; dump trucks; city or township trucks; vans or any other oversized vehicle.
The size and weight of commercial trucks compared to the other vehicles on the roadways pose unique safety risks to others sharing the roads. Accidents involving large trucks are usually catastrophic. Unfortunately, victims are either seriously injured or killed and we have the experts to go to the tractor trailer or order to download the electronic control module or any onboard computer of the tractor trailer. This scientific evidence is used to prove that the driver did not brake in time and to prove the excessive speed prior to braking.
Our lawyers have obtained substantial recoveries for our clients who are injured or families of a victim who was killed in a trucking accident. We have over 50 years of expertise to litigate tractor trailer accident lawsuits.
