Tractor Trailer Accidents
 Every year in the United States, one out of every eight traffic fatalities is caused by a collision with a tractor trailer or large truck. It’s no surprise that most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of the vehicles struck by tractor trailers. Such victims, or their survivors, often seek out the legal services of an expert law yerin order to recover the compensation rightfully due to them by law.
The Federal government requires tractor trailer and other large truck operators to acquire a commercial driver’s license and undergo limited drug and alcohol testing. Tractor trailer accident lawyers often ask for proof of such testing in the course of a lawsuits that focus on fatigue.
New tractor trailer laws implemented by The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in 2003 only allow drivers to drive a certain number of hours in a row after getting a designated stretch of resting time. There are similar rules that apply to short-haul tractor trailer drivers. If the accident lawyer is able to prove that regulations were ignored, driver fatigue can be easily introduced as the probable cause of the accident and compensation claimed for the victim/survivor.
If you have been injured, or a loved one has been killed in an accident involving a tractor trailer, or other large truck, it is important to consider your legal options. Many truckers are employed by large corporations that may put delivery of their goods ahead of your safety - don't pay for the transportation industry's greed.
While most trucking accidents occur at high speeds on the highway, even low-speed trucking accidents can have catastrophic results.
