West Palm Beach Large Truck Accident Lawyers

Large trucks are involved in a surprisingly high percentage of traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Any truck with a vehicle weight over 10,000 lbs is considered a large truck. It stands to reason that crashes involving trucks of this size are more likely to result in serious injury and death than are smaller automobile crashes. Additionally, large trucks are more likely to be involved in multiple-vehicle crashes than are passenger cars; approximately 10% of those individuals involved in large truck accidents will die. The large truck industry is regulated by both federal and state agencies, responsible for enforcing regulation on such issues as equipment safety and drivers' hours. Poor or poorly maintained equipment and driver fatigue are common precipitators of accidents and in investigating such accidents, assessment of agency and company records is vital.
