Things to Know About Truck Accidents in Montgomery County

• Distracted truck drivers are a growing problem, thanks to cellphones, texting, and all the new electronics found in truck cabs.
• Reckless driving and speeding is always a problem as truckers try to beat the clock or meet unrealistic deadlines, quotas, or schedules.
• Fatigue can be a huge factor in an accident if the truck driver has put in too many hours behind the wheel. We check the logbooks to see if the trucker has violated federal trucking laws by driving too long.
• Drug and alcohol use is often a factor in large truck accidents.

Additionally, problems with the truck may contribute to an 18-wheeler accident. Our personal injury lawyers can do a personal inspection of the tractor-trailer, accompanied by an accident reconstruction expert, to determine whether a truck defect played a role in the crash.

Some of the things we may ask include:

• Was the truck overloaded, making it harder to stop or maneuver?
• Was the truck properly maintained or do its maintenance records show a problem?
• Did cargo fall off the truck onto the car behind it because of a simple failure to secure the load or because of a defect in the equipment used to secure the load?
• Did any truck equipment fail, causing the driver to lose control?

By examining all possible factors, we are able to determine exactly how the crash occurred and, most importantly, who is responsible for your resulting medical bills, lost income, injuries, pain, suffering, and other damages.
