The Gerron Law Firm has extensive experience in handling cases involving truck accidents.

Accidents involving them can lead to catastrophic injuries or death. Following the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics of 2006, one out of nine traffic fatalities resulted from a collision involving a large truck.

Come to think of it, truck accidents are not to be blamed on the truck itself, but also on the driver and the company. In the United States, there are commercial laws and federal laws that exist to protect other motorists from the risks of the negligence and mistakes that both truck drivers and trucking companies make. One of such laws is the loading regulations in order to avoid imbalance in the weight of the truck and avoid road accidents.

A large number of trucking accidents result from driver fatigue or the use of drugs – many times illegal – by drivers to help keep themselves awake on the road. Drivers and the trucking companies may also falsify log books in order to avoid responsibility for an accident and possibly losing their license.
