Any collision between a tractor trailer truck and any other vehicle usually causes catastrophic injuries to people in smaller vehicles. These big trucks can cause monumental damage upon impact. Many times, fatalities occur or life-altering permanent injuries remain. Big trucks have big insurance companies who work quickly to deny or try to minimize any responsibility in a wreck. You need an experienced truck wreck lawyer who knows the law and regulations these companies must follow.
TRUCK WRECKS CAN BE CAUSED BY:
- Aggressive Driving
- Bad Weather
- Truck driver fatigue
- Truck driver intoxication
- Unrealistic schedules
- Overloaded cargo
- Unbalanced cargo
- Defective truck parts
- Mechanical failure
- Inadequate truck maintenance
- Inattention
Drivers are not the only potentially responsible parties.

You need an experienced truck lawyer to identify who is at fault. Call me so I can help you through the maze.
