What Act of Negligence Caused Your Accident?
The many factors that we have seen contribute to a trucking accident include:
- Trucker fatigue
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Overloaded trucks and unsecured loads
- Defective truck equipment
- Truck driver qualifications
- Trucking company negligence
- Speeding
- Weather conditions and road conditions
In many cases, the cause of the accident is not obvious, meaning that investigation is critical. We look closely at truck driver logs and trucking company records to determine if rules were broken and the driver spent too many hours behind the wheel or the truck maintenance schedule was not properly followed. We will find the cause and take action.
