Causes of Truck Accidents

Not every truck accident can be attributed solely to driver negligence. Our firm approaches each case aggressively and comprehensively. Using state-of-the-art technology and our roster of accident experts, we seek to determine the true cause of a trucking accident and who is ultimately responsible for resulting damages. We may question:

• Was the driver fully alert and attentive? We review the drivers' log book and other sources of information to learn if the driver was fatigued, driving drunk or under the influence of drugs.
• Did the driver receive sufficient training? We review the driver's CDL and driving record, as well as initial and continuing education.
• Was the driver pushed by company performance incentives? Our firm investigates the pressure placed on drivers to be early and whether incentives may have influenced the driver to operate in a reckless manner.
• Does negligent truck maintenance factor in? We investigate documentation of necessary maintenance and examine the damaged truck for defective equipment that may have contributed to the truck accident.
• Was the Truck or Trailer loaded properly.
