Accidents occur on our nation’s roadways every day. Some of the most serious accidents involve trucks, buses, and tractor trailers due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles.

There are several factors which may contribute to a bus, truck, or tractor trailer accident. In order to build an effective case, our lawyers must determine the cause of the accident.
In some instances, poor vehicle maintenance, which can result in brake failure, a tire blowout, or another problem, is the cause of the accident. Other times, driver negligence is to blame.
Driver negligence occurs when drivers do not focus all their attention on the road, but are distracted by eating, talking on a cell phone or with passengers, reading a map, or fiddling with the radio. Research has established that cell phone use can impair a driver as seriously as alcohol intoxication. Truck drivers, whose livelihood depends on transporting merchandise, are also faced with additional challenges. Spending hours a day on the road by themselves, some truck drivers turn to drugs and alcohol to pass the time, placing themselves and other drivers on the road at risk. Additionally, despite regulations, drivers of trucks and tractor trailers frequently work longer hours than they should in order to deliver products on schedule and, as a result, often struggle to stay awake, which increases their risk of being involved in an accident.

It is important that you contact our lawyers as soon as possible following an accident. If you wait too long, it may be too late to gather evidence which may be crucial to the success of your case.
