Phoenix Truck Accident Lawyers

WERE YOU SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT?

Sharing the road with commercial trucks makes many drivers uncomfortable. Commercial vehicles are large and potentially dangerous if involved in an auto accident which is why they are subject to many federal regulations. After all, collisions with these large commercial vehicles will cause a great deal of damage and in some cases death.

Due to the complexity involved in pursuing a claim following a trucking accident, you need an experienced legal team to help you with your case. The Phoenix truck accident lawyers at Miller Kory Rowe LLP are here to help you. Our team is very familiar with the various laws and regulations that pertain to the trucking industry. When you hire our law firm, you will have no problem receiving the help you need throughout the process.

HOW OUR ARIZONA TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER CAN HELP

When a large or medium-sized commercial vehicle gets involved in a wreck, there are a variety of issues that will come into play.

TRUCKING ACCIDENTS AND WHAT COMMONLY CAUSES THEM

While each trucking accident is different, there are several common causes like:

DRIVER FATIGUE

Among the most common causes of trucking accidents is driver fatigue. Truck drivers are often on tight, possibly unrealistic, deadlines. Some truckers think they can avoid sleep to deliver a load ahead of schedule even though regulations strictly require sufficient rest. Not getting enough sleep will put the truck driver and other motorists at risk. Lack of sleep can cause slower reaction times and can lead to a truck driver dozing off at the wheel.

LACK OF TRUCK MAINTENANCE

Just like any other type of vehicle, a commercial truck requires the right amount of maintenance to stay running safely. If the company that owns the truck avoids doing maintenance to save a few dollars, they should be held liable should an accident occur. Failing to check the tires or replace worn-out braking components can lead to unsafe driving conditions.

DISTRACTED DRIVING

Driving while distracted is one of the biggest problems facing American drivers. When truck drivers take their eyes off of the road for a split second, they are putting their lives and the lives of others in danger. Trying to check an email or respond to a text message has caused many trucking accidents. If you have been injured in a trucking accident caused by distracted driving, then contact Miller Kory Rowe LLP to find out how to pursue a lawsuit.

OVERSIZED LOADS

Every commercial truck on the road has a maximum weight capacity instituted by the manufacturer of the rig. If these maximum weight guidelines are ignored, an accident is a substantial probability. If the trailer on the back of a big rig is too heavy, it will prohibit the driver from bringing the rig to a stop in a hurry. This can lead to the driver jackknifing the trailer or slamming into a passenger vehicle due to their inability to stop.
