18 Wheels of Danger TRUCK ACCIDENT CASES
Car accidents of any kind are a serious matter, but none more so than accidents with an 18-wheeler. Trucks can haul a maximum capacity of 80,000 pounds. That amount of weight moving at a high speed can do literally tons of damage, especially when compared to the weight of the average passenger car. This disparity can cause far more severe injuries. But it makes your case more complicated as a result.
In a normal car accident, the fault tends to lie with one of the two drivers involved. But in a trucking case, the trucking company may share blame in a variety of ways, like hiring unqualified drivers or allowing truckers to drive beyond legal hourly limits. Some trucks are also equipped with black- box data, which means evidence can be scientific in nature. Further, the trucking industry is heavily regulated, meaning grounds for fault are more nuanced than a simple question of which vehicle had the right of way. Determining all the issues at stake in these cases may require an in-depth investigation. Areas of concern include faulty equipment, improper hiring, poor training, inadequate supervision, faulty maintenance, and more. Handling all of this on your own is nearly impossible in ideal circumstances, let alone if you’re dealing with serious injuries and a bureaucratic medical system. If you are injured in a trucking accident, you need an experienced attorney that will act fast to make sure you don’t lose evidence, settle for less than you deserve, or end up struggling to pay for hospital bills. The attorneys at Holland & Usry will handle the legal issues so you can focus on getting better. Our first question is, “What can we do to help?” We don’t stop fighting until justice is served.
