Trucking Accidents

Cases involving Commercial Motor Vehicles are drastically different than the typical run-of-the-mill automobile collision. The term “Commercial Motor Vehicle” includes eighteen-wheelers, dump trucks, box trucks, freightliners, bucket trucks and a vast array of other large vehicles. There are volumes of Federal and State laws that apply to specific types of commercial motor vehicles as well as to the industries that require them. It is absolutely critical that you hire a truck accident attorney who is familiar with the law and has experience in handling trucking and commercial vehicle collision cases specifically so that every potential violation is explored.

Typical factors leading to commercial motor vehicle collisions include:

People who drive cars commonly have a prejudice against motorcyclists. It can be difficult to see a motorcycle on the road, especially when drivers are not paying attention or do not care about motorcyclists. Because of this, many drivers take the attitude that motorcyclists must look out for cars and not vice-versa. When drivers of cars or commercial trucks think they own the road and they fail to see motorcycles, the results can be tragic. When bodies hit the pavement, there can be terrible outcomes.
