Tractor Trailer Trucking Collisions

Serious injury or death caused by negligent tractor trailer trucking collisions.

Accidents involving tractor trailers or semi trucks are frightening and often lead to very serious personal injury and sometimes wrongful death. Due to their size and weight, these trucks must be handled by well-trained professionals with superior driving skills. Unfortunately even then truck accidents can occur. These truck accidents can be due to negligent behavior by the driver or unrealistic requests from the trucking company to complete a route in the shortest possible time.

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act is very specific as to what is required by the trucking industry and its employees. Failure by companies and drivers to comply with these rules and regulations demonstrates a complete disregard to the consequences. The Cooper Firm has handled a variety of trucking accident cases involving:

  • Driver Fatigue
  • Driver under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
  • Aggressive Driving/Tailgating or Speeding
  • Improper loading or weight distribution
  • Illegal Schedules/Illegal Logbooks
  • Improper Maintenance and safety equipment
  • Negligent hiring and training
  • Unqualified drivers

As with car accidents, insurance companies with the trucking industry will attempt to settle claims as quickly as possible and may attempt to reduce the amount of benefits you or your loved one is owed. These companies have certain policies in place to minimize their loss. It is vital that you secure a qualified truck accident attorney to represent your rights. The Cooper Firm has experience in analyzing the truck accident to discover the cause of the incident, evaluate the severity of injury, determine the financial loss to the injured party and understand the insurance policy of the trucking company.
