Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents can be severe. According to government data, accidents involving large trucks account for less than 4% of all crashes, but nearly 8% of all fatal crashes. In 2002, there were 4,542 fatal crashes involving large trucks and another 94,000 crashes resulting in injury. In crashes between passenger vehicles and large trucks, the ratio of occupant fatalities is about 32 to 1. Success in large truck accident cases frequently revolves around twin goals: performing an accurate accident reconstruction and obtaining documentary evidence from the trucking company to support the plaintiff's case. Our lawyers are skilled in both areas and have successfully pursued these types of cases. We have handled cases involving truck-auto collisions, tanker truck explosions and logging truck accidents.
