Truck Accidents
Why are truck accidents so dangerous?
Large truck collisions can lead to severe consequences due to the extreme force of trucks. Did you know that a commercial truck can reach weights 25 times beyond standard vehicles and has severely restricted maneuverability to avoid accidents? The collision between massive trucks and cars can produce outcomes that lead to serious life-changing or fatal injuries.
How do I recover money for damages in a truck accident case?
Early preservation of evidence is vital to a successful personal injury claim, and truck accident cases are won with documentation. The right records and reports can show what happened and why it happened.
Who can be held responsible for my truck accident injuries?
Besides the truck driver, there may be a carrier, broker, maintenance contractor, or cargo loader who is liable for your injuries. Liability depends on what caused the crash and who controlled the risk. In many cases, the driver is only one part of the responsibility picture. At Kobren Law, our full investigation looks at the entire truck operation.
What role does the trucking company play?
The trucking company can be held responsible for failures like improper vehicle maintenance, inadequate driver vetting/training, and overworked schedules violating hours of service rules. A trucking company can be held accountable for unsafe hiring practices, inadequate training, or poor supervision. Maintenance providers can be responsible when negligent repairs create danger. Loaders can be responsible when cargo securement is improper. Brokers and contractors can be liable if they control routing or scheduling decisions. Where defective vehicle components play a causal role in the accident, the manufacturer can be held partially responsible.
