Truck Accident Lawsuit
Were you injured in a truck accident? You may be entitled to significant compensation!
Truck Accident Attorneys
Each year, approximately 500,000 trucking accidents occur in the U.S., tragically resulting in around 5,000 fatalities. In Washington State alone, recent data from the Department of Transportation reported 8,840 trucking crashes in a single year, leading to 78 deaths.
The Serious Impact of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often cause severe injuries, with recovery taking weeks or even months. Unlike standard car accidents, collisions involving commercial trucks are far more destructive due to their massive size and weight. The resulting property damage and injuries can be devastating.
Common Causes of Trucking Accidents
Truck drivers must follow strict federal safety regulations. When these rules are ignored, accidents happen. Some common causes of trucking accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Reckless driving, especially in poor weather conditions
- Defective or poorly maintained equipment
- Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
- Unsafe passing
- Failure to maintain control of the truck
- Failure to keep a proper lookout
- Following too closely or failing to maintain a safe distance
Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accident cases require specialized legal knowledge. These cases involve complex federal regulations, trucking company policies, and industry-specific evidence, such as:
- Driver logbooks
- Truck maintenance records
- Accident reports
- Medical and repair costs
An experienced truck accident lawyer can gather crucial evidence, build a strong case, and help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
