Truck Accidents

Cases involving trucking accidents are different than a typical motor vehicle car accident case. The damage and injuries inflicted upon motorists in trucking accidents can be severe, often resulting in a catastrophic injury or death. The size and weight of tractor trailers are a significant contributing factor to the high fatality rate, as well as large blind spots, cell phone usage, texting, trucks not being adequately maintained, driver fatigue and, in some cases, the use of alcohol or drugs.

Obtaining through discovery the appropriate documents and materials from the defendant is crucial. There are many federal regulations governing the operation of tractor trailers and their drivers, as well as requirements for the creation of certain records and log books. These regulations and documentation may be vital to the prosecution of a trucking case. In some cases these documents may even contain a “smoking gun.”
