If you were injured in a truck accident or if someone you love died a wrongful death in a collision with a semi tractor trailer, tanker truck, delivery van or any other large commercial vehicle, please contact a truck accident attorney at Metzger Wickersham today. We aggressively pursue financial compensation for those injured through negligence in trucking accidents.
Because of the sheer size of the vehicles, truck accidents often result in devastating personal injuries and fatalities. They are also more legally complex than a typical car crash. There may be many different parties who share liability for the accident. For example, the vehicle's tractor could be owned by one party, the trailer by another and the contents by a third. The driver could be an owner operator, an independent contractor, or an employee of the trucking company.
At Metzger Wickersham, our truck accident attorneys may call in an accident reconstruction expert to determine what caused the accident, who is liable, and whether violations of federal or state trucking regulations contributed to the crash.
Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Lack of under ride protection
- Improper loading
- Improper maintenance
- Improper lane shifting
- Speeding
