Semi-Truck Accidents

Understanding the claim

Accidents involving semi-trucks and tractor-trailers can raise questions about both driver conduct and trucking-company responsibility. Vehicle maintenance, cargo, the driver’s work, and the available insurance may be important to understanding a claim.

Semi-truck accident cases can be significantly more complex than typical passenger-car accident claims. The investigation may extend beyond the drivers to the trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance providers, or parties responsible for loading cargo. Commercial trucking operations may also be subject to safety rules governing driver qualifications, driving hours, vehicle inspections, and maintenance. Driver logs, electronic vehicle data, company records, and commercial insurance policies can all require careful review. Promptly collecting and preserving this evidence can be important to understanding what happened and identifying who may be legally responsible. Mortimer Injury Law can help you navigate these issues and evaluate the full impact of the collision.
