Car and Truck Auto Accidents
Car and truck accidents make up the bulk of personal injury cases in the US court system. These accidents happen for a variety of reasons – improperly maintained roads, poorly marked signs, and defective parts are just a few examples. The most common reason, however, is driver negligence.
There are more distractions today than at any other time in history. Cell phones, portable DVD players, and radios are just a few examples of distractions we face in our daily commute. They may seem harmless, but these distractions can cause serious injuries when they result in car accidents. If this occurs, you may need an Injury lawyer.
Injuries from car accidents represent some of the most serious injuries we’ve seen as Car Accident Lawyers. These accidents cause injuries ranging from the less severe but long-term, like soft tissue injuries and whiplash, to the very serious, like brain trauma, lacerations, disfigurement, and even wrongful death.
Truck accidents also cause severe personal injuries. When large trucks collide with smaller passenger vehicles, motorcycles, or pedestrians, the results are often catastrophic. These accidents can result in grievous injuries, including head injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, paralysis, and even death.
Truck accidents come with their own separate set of inquiries, like whether the driver, the employer, the vehicle owner and other involved parties complied with safety laws, Department of Transportation and Motor Carrier Safety regulations, and met a certain standard of care and safety maintenance. Addressing these issues requires an in-depth understanding of commercial truck law, including an understanding of how these trucks are required to operate. Our Car Accident lawyers have extensive knowledge in this area of the law, as well as significant experience preparing, litigating, and even taking these cases to court in order to ensure our clients are given adequate compensation.
