UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL INJURY IN TRUCKING ACCIDENTS
When a collision involves a massive commercial truck and a smaller vehicle, the consequences are often catastrophic due to the sheer size and weight disparity. Truck accidents can have devastating consequences, often resulting in serious injuries and significant property damage. Thus, navigating the legal aftermath of a truck accident requires specialized expertise in personal injury law and the intricacies of the trucking industry.
At Alcock & Associates, we understand the complexities and challenges that individuals face after a truck accident. Our team of highly skilled truck accident attorneys possesses in-depth knowledge of these areas, allowing us to provide you with the best possible legal support.
Commercial Carrier Claims Attorneys
Truck accidents are unlike other road accidents involving only passenger vehicles. These cases have many different considerations and legal variables that can SIGNIFICANTLY affect the victim’s ability to recover compensation.
Commercial carriers or drivers are required by law to maintain detailed and updated maintenance and driving logs. If, for some reason, there is a failure to maintain these logs or equipment, it can result in a civil claim. Also, any destruction of evidence or cover-up of deficiencies can impact the case.
Given the nature of these types of accidents, trucking accidents usually result in more serious injuries and consequences than other accidents. Because of this, it is very important to have documentation for all medical bills, expenses and lost wages resulting from the accident.
If you or a loved one have been injured by a commercial truck or vehicle, we would love to speak with you and help you today. Alcock & Associates has a team of very experienced, dedicated, and attentive lawyers who know what to look for and the best way to protect you. Our attorneys go the extra mile for our clients, ready to perform hospital and home visits for those who need them.
TRUCKING ACCIDENT STATISTICS
Arizona, along with several other states in the U.S., has special laws that apply specifically to truck accidents. In fact, it is one of only ten other states that have changed their laws to enforce a slower speed limit for large trucks and other commercial vehicles.
Statistics show that more than 450,000 large trucks were involved in accidents year after year. Large trucks such as tractor-trailers, single-unit trailers, and cargo vans weighing more than 10,000 pounds account for many of the large truck accidents that occur yearly on Arizona highways.
Many factors can contribute to truck accidents. These include brake problems, poor driving conditions, and even driver’s fatigue. In a recent survey, almost 20% of truckers admitted falling asleep at the wheel at least once in the previous three months, making driver fatigue a worrisome factor in commercial vehicle accidents.
Crash statistics have also revealed that at least 20% of large truck accidents are due to some form of negligence by the driver. Following are some common causes of truck accidents:
- DUI
- DWI
- Driver Fatigue
- Truck Overturns
- Backing
- Vehicle Collisions
- Transporting Equipment with Trailers
- Overloaded Trucks or Trailers
- Loads That Shift Weight
- Semi-trucks jackknife in traffic
Approximately every 16 minutes, another individual in the United States is injured or killed due to a truck driving accident. At least a third of the victims injured from truck accidents will suffer either a fatal or life-threatening injury.
