Trucking Accidents

Experienced Help For Trucking Accident Victims

Truck accidents are not like car accidents. They are more complicated because more than one owner may share liability. The size and sheer tonnage of these big rigs (also called semis, tractor-trailers or 18 wheelers) makes it more likely that they will cause a serious injury and accident or wrongful death. The trucks that travel on 694, 494, I-94 and the other highways and interstates are bound by strict laws.

Truck Drivers Are Held To Higher Standards

Truck drivers are not like car drivers. Truck drivers must have more training than regular drivers. They must be screened and prove to be healthy and eligible to drive a big rig. They must also follow stricter safety regulations.

Truck drivers cannot text and drive, drink and drive, or be under the influence of any kind of mood-altering drug or chemical. Owners of the rigs need to keep logs and maintenance schedules. Drivers need to be properly trained and have passed a background check. Trucking company owners can’t push drivers to break speed and traffic laws in order to get things done faster. Call and speak with a truck accident attorney immediately to ensure no evidence is lost or destroyed. Call Coodin Law Office, LLC, at 651-209-1155.
