SERVING BUFFALO, NY & THE ENTIRE WNY REGION
Trucking Accident Attorney
If you were involved in an accident caused by a tractor-trailer, our truck accident lawyers can help.
There are several hundred thousand tractor-trailer accidents in the United States every year. Many are fatal. In 2002 alone, there were an estimated 4,902 deaths as the result of tractor-trailer truck accidents. In fact, approximately 15% of all fatal auto accidents are caused by a collision with a large truck. Most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of the vehicles struck by these trucks. The drivers often walk away unhurt.
There are government regulations that require commercial licenses and limited drug and alcohol testing. However, the effectiveness of the licensing and testing program is questionable.
Truck driver fatigue is also an issue. Drivers are pressured to make their deliveries and continue to drive when reasonable care suggests otherwise. The government has strict rules and regulations on the number of hours a driver is permitted on the road per day and per week. The regulations are different for long-haul operators compared to short-haul operators. If you've been involved in a trucking accident, it's important that you hire an experienced truck accident lawyer that understand the laws and your rights.
