Truck Accident Easter KY Pikeville

Truck Accidents

Truck collision lawsuits can be far more complex than other vehicle accidents. It is to your advantage to consult with an attorney that knows how to protect your interests in these cases.

Negligence claims can be brought against the drivers, the companies who hire them, or both.

Many times trucks are overweight and become a hazard on the roadway. Operators may be tired, overworked and many trucks are poorly or improperly maintained.

The most common cause of driver error is fatigue. Driver error can also be due to inexperience, insufficient training, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, whether prescription or illegal. Competitive factors in the trucking industry also encourage speeding violations among tractor-trailer drivers as well.

Both drivers and trucking companies work under state and federal regulations that are designed to protect the public and other drivers from the dangers that unsafe heavy vehicles or their operators can represent. When these regulations are broken innocent motorists are in jeopardy.
