Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accident Injury Attorneys for Lowell Indiana

Lowell Injury Attorneys Fight for Those Injured in Truck Accidents

Indiana Law Firm Focuses on Tractor-Trailer Collisions

According to a study by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), operators of commercial trucks are 10 times more liable to cause an accident, as compared to other factors, such as adverse weather, poor road conditions, and faulty vehicle performance.

The FMCSA study also concluded that action (or inaction) by truck drivers was the cause of approximately 88 percent of collisions. The most common causes of trucking accidents are driver fatigue and sleep deprivation.

Duties of Truck Drivers

Commercial truck drivers are required to operate their trucks in a safe manner on U.S. roads and interstates. Federal laws closely regulate the trucking industry, with stringent requirements for truck drivers, trucking companies, and truck manufacturers. In addition to extensive licensing requirements, federal trucking laws also regulate the number of hours a truck driver may drive at one stretch.

Truck accidents are usually much more complex than a typical automobile accident for a number of reasons:

  • The driver might work for a large trucking company that is represented by a large truck insurance company.
  • The goods being transported by the truck may also be insured, involving another insurance company.
  • Truck insurance companies typically conduct widespread investigations of crashes involving trucks and have a team of lawyers.

Taking all this on alone, without the help of an experienced truck accident attorney, is usually not a wise idea and can result in a reduced recovery for an injured plaintiff, or no recovery at all.
