Truck Fatal Accident or truck car fatal accidents present many different aspects to consider and research such as:

  • Was the driver falling asleep due to excessive hours logged?
  • Was the truck overloaded?
  • Was the speed excessive for conditions? When did the truck leave its origination point compared to the time of the accident?
  • What information is contained in the truck’s Electronic Control Module (ECM) and does that conflict with the driver’s version of events?
  • Was the accident caused by a mechanical defect or worn part that should have been replaced? We have experts that will investigate this.
  • Trucks have much more mass than cars, especially when fully loaded. This usually results in more serious injuries to the occupants of the car in a truck / car accident.
  • Has the truck company been cited for safety issues in the past?
  • Was there driver negligence that caused a jack-knife or roll-over?
  • Was the truck driver driving aggressively?

We still see too many cases relating to unsafe working conditions. This is often due to cost-cutting by companies. These employers need to be held accountable.
