Causes of Truck Accidents
Given their substantial size, trucks are capable of causing significantly more damage than a standard passenger car. Trucks are also more difficult to operate than cars, and truckers must be carefully trained in the use of their vehicle.
Many truck accidents are caused by:
- Driver fatigue
- Traffic violations (failing to use a turn signal, running a stop sign, etc.)
- Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
- Drunk driving
- Negligence (eating while driving, adjusting the radio while driving, etc.)
- Inadequately trained truckers
- Defective truck equipment
Our Approach
Depending on the circumstances of the accident, we may be able to hold one or multiple parties accountable. For example, if the accident was caused by a defective truck part, we may pursue compensation from the manufacturer, whereas an accident caused by driver negligence would require us to go after the trucker and his or her employer.
Regardless of the situation, we always take the time to carefully investigate the accident by assessing the scene, bringing in specialists such as accident reconstructionists, and interviewing witnesses.
When someone else’s negligence or error results in an accident, he or she should be held responsible for the damage and any injuries that were sustained. An injured victim should not have to pay the price for someone else’s carelessness.
Our Okemos truck accident attorneys at White Law PLLC want to hold the responsible party accountable and help you recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
