Any number of factors may have contributed to your trucking accident, such as weather hazards, defective car or truck components, speeding or lack of proper signal lights. In general, trucking accident liability tends to fall in one of two categories:
- Truck company negligence such as failure to screen or train the driver properly
- Truck driver negligence such as driving too many hours without sufficient rest
A trucker's log is supposed to provide essential information such as how long the driver rested, when and where maintenance and inspections were performed and how many miles the trucker had traveled in the past 24 hours before the crash. A review of mileage and hours may make it clear that the truck driver must have been speeding. A more in-depth investigation into the driver's whereabouts during the hours before the crash may yield information that the truck driver had consumed alcohol not long beforehand.
Every truck accident case is unique, and we fully expect to find special factors in your case if we have the opportunity to review it and investigate. Contact us to learn how we can help after a serious truck accident on a highway or city street involving any type of commercial vehicle:
