Trucking Accidents
Truck accidents are often caused by the carelessness of the truck driver and can be a devastating event for all parties involved. The truck accident lawyers at Kenneth R. Schuster & Associates are well versed in this area of law and offer comprehensive legal assistance to help you hold the responsible party accountable for their actions. A safety study published by the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that a large number of truck drivers responsible for trucking accidents tested positive for drugs or alcohol. Other drivers are on the road when they haven’t had sufficient rest, and some received improper or inadequate training from trucking companies. Unfortunately, safety violations are common in portions of the trucking industry where profits have been placed ahead of public safety.
Other dangers can be attributed to the large size of trucks, which makes them slower to stop, more prone to tipping, and delivers a harsher blow upon impact. Defective equipment, especially defective or out-of-adjustment brakes, can also cause a serious truck accident. If you have been injured in a truck accident, our lawyers can evaluate your case and determine if you have a viable claim.
