Catastrophic Truck Accidents

Due to their size and weight, being involved in a semi truck crash is one of the most devastating types of road accidents. Big, commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds and the impact of a vehicle this weight can result in a tragedy. When speeding is added to the mix, an enormous amount of energy can wind up being produced which can make vehicle impact extremely severe. If you lost someone close to you in a truck wreck or they have suffered a devestating injury, it is vital to seek legal counsel from a lawyer as soon as possible so that a proper investigation can be done.

Many times it is the truck driver or the corporation who is at fault for a fatal accident. Some common causes of truck accidents include the following:

Speeding
Aggressive Driving
Tailgating
Drunk Driving
Failing to Yield
Jackknifing
Improper loading
Hauling Excessive Loads
Improper Maintenance of the Truck
Excessive working hours leading to fatigue

The statistics for truck accidents in the United States are shocking and unfortunate. In a recent one year period, well over 100,000 big truck crashes occurred that were not fatal. A little more than 50,000 of these accidents resulted in injuries and these do not even include the accidents that resulted in fatalities.

When truck drivers are fatigued, this may result in a truck accident. Who is at fault in this case? Usually, it would be the trucking company for creating such unrealistic schedules for these drivers. Many truck drivers are required to drive many hours; not just throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio, but also throughout the entire country. Often, hectic scheduling leaves them with very little sleep which is very dangerous.

Some of the areas we practice in include, but are not limited to: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Pittsburg, Erie, Philadelphia and Harrisburg.
