Truck Accidents

18 Wheeler injury

The National Traffic Safety Administration estimates that every year, over 400,000 large trucks (including 18-wheelers and tractor trailers) are involved in trucking accidents resulting in over 5,000 deaths and over 100,000 injuries.

Investigating truck accidents requires knowledge of the regulations governing the operation of trucking companies and truck drivers. It also requires inspections of the trucks, trailers and other vehicles involved in the accident. It is important that an investigation begin as soon as possible after an accident in order to document skid and gouge marks, operational records and vehicles condition.

If you have been injured in a trucking accident, you should contact an attorney who has experience in negotiating with these trucking companies and their insurance companies. Carr & Carr has experienced truck accident lawyers who can help you get the compensation you deserve.
