The causes of trucking accidents are numerous: defective equipment, poor maintenance, bad weather. However, one of the most common reasons for 18-wheeler accidents is truck driver fatigue.
As personal injury attorneys, we recognize the pressures placed upon commercial truck drivers. There is an emphasis on prompt delivery regardless of what it takes, and many drivers are willing to sacrifice sleep and safety to satisfy company officials. However, though we recognize the pressures, we do not accept the excuses.
- There is no reason to endanger innocent people just to squeeze in one more delivery ahead of schedule.
- Drivers should maintain one accurate log book. There is no reason to keep an official record for the authorities and an actual record for the driver.
- Trucking companies should encourage and enforce safe driving practices for the well being of the driver and for those sharing the road with semi trucks.
At our firm, we strive to hold trucking companies and truck drivers accountable for negligent behavior. We represent injured victims throughout Texas and Oklahoma, standing up for their rights to financial compensation.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by a commercial vehicle or semi truck, you deserve to have a lawyer who will listen. Contact the Law Office of Julie Johnson for a free consultation.
