Tractor Trailer Accidents

A tractor trailer, due to its larger size and heavy weight, can be hazardous to drivers on the road. A tractor trailer has a high center of gravity and has blind spots. Trucking companies have been known to overload their trucks on a routine basis and often times fail to maintain their trucks properly. Drivers tend to overextend their time and service requirements which results in a fatigued driver. Trucking companies and drivers are subject to federal and state regulations which require them to keep truck maintenance logs, driver logs and inspection reports. Often times through investigation of these documents, we find non-compliance with these regulations and able to establish liability and negligence in these cases. Evidence preservation is critical in trucking accidents. If it is not gathered immediately, it is usually lost. Therefore, you must act quickly and have your own investigators and attorneys working for you, otherwise your case could be critically compromised.

It is not advisable to negotiate with the trucking company if you have been involved in a truck accident. The best way you can protect yourself is to consult with an attorney.
