Highway Truck Accident Lawyers

How did your highway truck accident happen?

Highway truck accidents caused by commercial truck drivers often happen for two main reasons – neglect or inexperience. Specifically, truck drivers often cause high-speed collisions on highways for the following reasons:

• Not paying attention behind the wheel (distracted driving)
• Texting while driving (which is against the law for commercial truck drivers nationwide)
• Driving too fast for weather conditions (especially on snow or ice)
• Driving too fast due to inexperience (especially around sharp curves)
• The truck was not properly maintained (bald tires, defective brakes, etc.)
• The truck was not loaded properly (causing the truck to tip or roll over)

Whatever the cause of your highway truck accident, make sure you take your crash seriously right from the start. Make sure you make an appointment with our law firm. We can help you deal with all the complicated legal issues that often come up with accident claims.

What makes highway truck accidents so complicated?

You might think your highway truck accident case will be fairly straightforward. Many accident claims involving commercial truck drivers often turn out to be complicated legal cases. Some of the reasons why include:

• The truck driver who caused your crash denies doing anything wrong.
• The truck driver claims you somehow caused the highway truck accident.
• Different state and federal laws sometimes apply to commercial truck accidents.
• The truck driver’s trucking company refuses to provide accident data from the truck.
• There may be more than one company responsible for your accident, including:
  • The trucking company that hired the driver and maintains the truck.
  • The company that loaded the contents of the truck (especially if the truck was not loaded properly, causing the truck to tip or roll over on the highway).
  • The company that packaged the contents inside the truck (especially if the contents were not packaged properly and caused the truck to tip over).
• The insurance company for the at-fault party may make a lowball settlement offer.
• The insurance company for the at-fault party may deny your accident claim.
