Trucking Accidents

Because trucks are heavier and larger than cars, accidents involving trucks tend to cause more severe injuries and have a higher fatality rate. Many trucking accidents can be avoided if truck drivers and responsible companies act with a minimum standard of care. When they do not, trucking accidents attorney Michael T.

•Aggressive driving behavior
•Brake failure
•Driver fatigue
•DUI/DWI
•Mechanical defects
•Oversized trucks
•Poor truck maintenance
•Tire blowouts
•Tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers
•Truck rollovers
•Unlicensed or untrained drivers
•Unsafe driving conditions, such as snow, ice, rain or fog

Efficient lawyer immediately available

After a truck accident, trucking company personnel quickly converge on the scene to gather evidence for their defense. I match the immediacy of their response. I measure and photograph the scene of the accident to preserve such crucial evidence as skid marks and vehicle positioning. I talk to witnesses while their memories are fresh. I also take notice of any special circumstances that would indicate whether driver intoxication or fatigue, improper truck loading, or mechanical failure played a role in the collision.
