Fatal truck accidents take the lives of hundreds of people every month in the United States. Far too many of these accidents are completely preventable. Every day, innocent people lose their lives as a result of drivers and other parties who engage in reckless actions.
In many cases, fatal truck accidents take place as a result of driver negligence. When drivers engage in reckless actions while behind the wheel, they place the lives of innocent motorists sharing the road at risk. We see many fatal truck accidents take place as a result of drivers who are intoxicated, distracted, or speeding. Drivers who engage in these and other acts of negligence directly place the lives of others at risk.
In addition to truck drivers, we see many fatal accidents take place as a result of negligent trucking companies. When trucking companies are negligent in their hiring practices, they run the risk of retaining drivers who are unqualified to operate the vehicles. We also see many instances where trucking companies fail to maintain their vehicles.
