Car & Truck Accidents: Understanding the Consequences

Trucks on our roads often transport very heavy loads, not to mention often transporting dangerous goods. Transportation companies and truck drivers are responsible for the safety of their vehicles as well as the safe transport and storage of the items they are carrying. When a truck is involved in an accident with a car, the results can be disastrous. The types of injuries can be severe. Truck drivers and transport companies need to be held to a higher standard.

Importance of Hiring a NYC Car Accident Attorney

Trucks travelling on our roads often weigh more than 70,000 lbs. That means that a truck weighs more than 20 times that of a typical car. According to National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, up to 40% of accidents involving large trucks are caused by driver fatigue. There are regulations in place governing how many hours drivers are allowed behind the wheel of these massive trucks. Our experienced group of lawyers understands trucking regulations and car-truck collisions. We will investigate the circumstances of your accident and hold those responsible to account for any violations of trucking regulations. It is important to stand up to these companies and let them know that they are made responsible for their actions. We can help you do so by aggressively going after the compensation you deserve.
