Large Truck Accidents |
|
A high percentage of traffic crashes and deaths involve
large trucks. A large truck is any truck whose vehicle
weight is over 10,000 pounds. Because of their size, crashes
involving large trucks are more likely to result in serious
injury and death than are car crashes.
Approximately 10% of all those injured in a large truck
crash will die. Large trucks are more likely to be involved
in multiple-vehicle crashes than are passenger cars. Both
Federal and state regulations govern trucking and cover
areas such as safety of equipment and hours of the drivers.
Trucking companies are required to keep records of such
information and it will be necessary to find and research
such records. Poor equipment and driver fatigue can be
causes of such crashes, and a careful study of the trucking
company records may be needed to determine if negligence has
occurred.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury as a result of
a large truck crash, call Law Office of James C. DeZao for an
