Truck accidents are among the most dangerous and deadly types of collisions. Due to their size and weight, commercial trucks can cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities. McDonald Trial Lawyers specializes in representing truck accident victims, ensuring they receive the compensation they need to recover.
•Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are often the result of negligence, including:
- Driver Fatigue – Long hours on the road lead to exhaustion and impaired judgment.
- Improperly Loaded Cargo – Unbalanced loads increase the risk of rollovers.
- Speeding and Reckless Driving – Truck drivers under pressure to meet deadlines may violate speed limits.
- Mechanical Failures – Brake failures and tire blowouts contribute to severe crashes.
- Negligent Hiring Practices – Trucking companies failing to screen or train drivers properly.
•Why Truck Accident Cases Are Complex
Unlike regular car accidents, truck accidents involve multiple liable parties, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The vehicle manufacturer
- The cargo loading company
•Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
Victims of truck accidents may be eligible for compensation for:
- Medical expenses (hospitalization, rehabilitation, therapy)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages (if the company engaged in reckless behavior)
