Tractor Trailer Wrecks and Trucking Accidents need an Experienced Motor Vehicle Injury Lawyer

Commercial tractor trailers or semi trucks can weigh more than 40 tons. This results in much longer slowing and braking times and car wrecks involving commercial tractor-trailers can be devastating, especially when the other vehicle is a car, SUV or motorcycle. Catastrophic injuries, extensive property damage, and even death can occur as a result of a serious car wreck. Victims of trucking accidents need legal representation that seeks to recover the maximum amount of compensation, including property damage, past and future lost wages, medical bills, legal expenses, pain and suffering, and other expenses. In the case of a wrongful death of loved one, people need answers immediately so call me on my cell at (502) 609-7657 or 855-REACHMYCELL.

Trucking Accidents and Insurance Liability

As the vast majority of trucking accidents involve commercial carriers, it’s absolutely imperative to protect your rights as an injured motorist. Hiring an lawyer or a personal injury attorney familiar with commercial trucking regulations and insurance policies can protect your rights and receive the compensation that you may be entitled to.

Most automobile accidents involving semi trucks are caused by the driver of the truck, and can usually be attributed to such factors as:
  • Truck driver inexperience, negligence, or carelessness
  • Use of alcohol, illegal drugs or stimulants
  • D.U.I
  • Driver fatigue (which in many cases is a result of violating federal requirements of sleep breaks and exceeding driving time allowances)
  • Improper loading, excessive weight or misuse of restraints
  • Inadequate driver training and education by the trucking company
  • Improper maintenance of lights, brakes, tires or other equipment
