About Truck Accidents
Large trucks share the streets, roads and highways throughout the Provo area, and as the population grows, the hazard for drivers increases. Unfortunately, because these vehicles are so large and heavy, particularly when fully loaded, they can become a threat to smaller vehicles in the area. It is evident that in the case of an accident with a truck, the smaller vehicle like a car, motorcycle, van or pick-up, is going to be the one that sustains the most damage. The passengers in those smaller vehicles are also likely to be the victims of such accidents. Often, these injuries can be life threatening and require extensive medical treatments and care.
Accident claims involving trucks and commercial insurance companies can become complex and are best left to a Provo car accident attorney to review. A few of the issues adding complexity to investigations of truck accidents are:
- Maintenance of the vehicle
- Violation of driving time regulations
- Unsecured loads
- Overloading of freight
- Brake or tires issues
- Driver fatigue
- Drug use
A truck accident attorney with the Zabriskie Law Firm will examine these points as part of our investigation, as they could show negligence on the part of the driver, trucking company, or truck manufacturer in cases of system failures on the vehicle.
