Car Accidents / Truck Accidents

Driver negligence, reckless driving, manufacturing defects and hazardous road conditions are all possible causes of car accidents as well as truck accidents. When serious injury results from an accident, determining who is liable for damages becomes an important issue. Medical bills, lost wages, general damages for the pain and suffering that cause inconvenience and interrupt an individual's life become the responsibility of those liable for the injury.

Dangerous roadway conditions or designs as well as a malfunctioning traffic signal may impose accident responsibility on the city, county or state overseeing the thoroughfare.

Manufacturing defects that result from poor design or a flawed manufacturing process cause car accidents and indicate product liability. The company producing the product would be named as the responsible party in this type of personal injury claim.

However, the most common causes for car and truck accidents are negligent drivers, drivers who are not paying attention, drivers who have been drinking or drivers who have a reckless disregard for others. In these types of cases the liability is termed negligence.

Car Accidents

Car accidents impact the lives of more than 6 million of Americans every year. Frequencies of car accident fatalities are apparent in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, which states that someone is killed in a car accident every ten seconds.

Truck Accidents

A truck weighing up to 80,000 lbs. creates a devastating impact when colliding with a passenger vehicle. While less frequent than car accidents, approximately 500,000 truck accidents occur every year in the U.S. and result in injury or death for 94% of the passengers involved in the collisions.
