All of us rely on products for our daily lives. Those products, one point or another, where transported on a truck. Commercial trucks transport and deliver goods throughout the United States. Manufacturers, shippers, and stores all rely on tight deadlines. End users expect things delivered yesterday. Trucking companies have to meet strict delivery windows, so they threaten financial penalties on their drivers to ensure timely deliveries.
Unfortunately, these deadlines force drivers to speed, drive over their maximum hours, drive while tired, fatigued, sleep deprived, or while under the influence of medications or drugs. As a result of the pressure and unreasonable demands trucking companies place on their drivers, hundreds of collisions involving semi trucks occur daily, often resulting in serious, lifelong injuries and even death.
Our attorneys have handled cases against trucking companies with issues including driver fatigue, driver distraction, drivers exceeding their federal hour restrictions or falsifying their log books, drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol, semi tractors that have been improperly serviced or maintained, trailers that have been improperly loaded, or that overloaded, drivers driving at speed that is much faster than the road or weather conditions dictate, general inattentiveness, drivers who speed, and drivers who fail to leave a proper distance between the vehicle in front of them.
As with any other personal injury case, the Law Offices of Jacobson & Tchernev is happy to provide you with a consultation regarding your claim free of charge.
Truck accidents can happen for many reasons, including driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, overloaded cargo, poor vehicle maintenance, and violations of federal trucking regulations.
In many cases, trucking companies, maintenance providers, or cargo loading companies may also share responsibility for the accidents
Commercial trucking companies and drivers must follow strict federal regulations designed to protect public safety. These rules govern driver hours, vehicle inspections, maintenance requirements, cargo limits, and licensing standards.
When trucking companies fail to comply with these regulations, serious accidents can occur. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate whether federal safety violations contributed to your accident.
After a truck accident, your health and safety should be the top priority. Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to law enforcement, and gather evidence if possible.
Truck accident cases often involve multiple parties and complex insurance issues, so it is important to speak with an experienced truck accident lawyer before discussing your case with insurance companies.
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, future medical treatment, and other damages related to the accident.
Our legal team works aggressively to recover the maximum compensation available for every client.
