Accidents involving semis on our highways are usually due to:
- Drunk truck drivers
- Distracted truck drivers
- Overworked truck drivers
- Careless truck drivers
- Unsafe or overloaded trucks

Due to the severity of truck crashes, victims usually end up with:

A lot of truck accidents occur within any metro area on account of the heavy concentration of factories and businesses found within this area. Sadly, over 90 percent of all semi accidents lead to one or more fatalities, and the majority result in life-altering injuries.
Proving Negligence or Fault in a Truck Accident Case
In order for our truck accident law firm to win a suit that we bring forward, we must establish that the defendant acted in a negligent manner culminating in your injuries. This isn’t as cut and dry as it sounds, as we will have to go to work to prove that the truck driver did not act in a manner that is reasonable in relation to the behavior and actions of other truck drivers had they been in the same situation. A lot of the time, these cases involve the contravention or breaking of regulations that oversee the trucking industry. We will examine regulations that have to do with hours of service, alcohol and drug testing, vehicle maintenance, truck insurance, as well as loading or weight restrictions to discover if there was a lapse in any of these, resulting in your semi accident.
