Truck, Automotive & Vehicle Accidents  

Trucking Accidents Account For One Of Every Eight Traffic Deaths.

Many tractor-trailer accidents are caused by truck drivers who are speeding, tailgating, suffering driver fatigue, or generally inattentive. Truck drivers are limited in the number of hours they can drive and have mandated rest periods.
Unfortunately, these rules are regularly violated. Our truck accident injury attorneys work to collect drivers' logs -- which can show violations -- before they disappear or are altered.

Some Of The Common Causes:

• Aggressive big-rig drivers
• Unrealistic schedules
• Failure to inspect truck tires, brakes and lights
• Tailgating
• Illegally long work-shifts
• Over-sized loads
• Driver fatigue, boredom and cell phone use
• Failure to install blind spot mirrors for dangerous lane changes
• Jackknifing
• Speeding and ignoring reduced truck speed limit
• Unusually large blind spots caused by size of trailor or load

Automotive & Motorcycle Accidents.

If you have been involved in a car accident, it’s quite possible that you or someone you love has suffered serious injuries or even been killed. Car accidents tend to leave debilitating results in their wake, as these machines weigh hundreds, if not thousands of pounds, and the force generated by an average automobile crashing into something at just 35 mph is enough to cause a building to collapse.

However, you are not without options if you have been involved in an accident. Clearly, your first step after an accident should be to seek and receive immediate medical attention, but after that step is taken, you should contact an attorney for a full consultation. Your attorney may be able to explain to you certain rights and/or options available to you that you may not have otherwise realized.

The view of the motorcycle or the other vehicle involved in the accident is limited by glare or obstructed by other vehicles in almost half of the multiple vehicle accidents. Motorcycles are by their nature far less crashworthy than closed vehicles. In 2003 there were 70,000 motorcycle accidents, almost 4000 deaths, 8% of vehicles on the road are motorcycles. With the expense of gas and the economy we are in you can expect this number to rise dramatically over the next year.
