There are nearly 15.5 million commercial trucks operating in the United States. Some are not safe.

2 million of that number represents tractor trailers. Every year, more than 500,000 crashes involve tractor trailers. Due to their size and weight, many of these accidents involve serious injuries and death. The truck accident lawyers at Toon Law Firm have handled numerous truck accident claims. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has rules to reduce crashes, injuries and death. Some companies choose to violate these rules.

Many common causes of trucking accidents are:

  • Overloaded rigs
  • Sleep deprivation and fatigue
  • Faulty equipment
  • Improper maintenance
  • Inadequately secured trailers
  • Distracted driving
  • Improper training
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

  • Neck and back injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Burns
  • Internal injuries
  • Bruises
  • Loss of limbs
  • Lacerations

What To Do After A Wreck With A Large Commercial Vehicle.

Did you know many commercial truck companies hire an attorney the same day a crash occurs? The trucking companies and their insurance carriers have attorneys. So should you. The truck accident attorneys at Toon Law Firm have helped recover multi-millions of dollars for victims of truck crashes.
  • If you are able, take photos and videos of the accident scene
  • Also take photos of your injuries and the property damage
  • It is important to document information about the accident
  • Have witnesses given statements? Has other important evidence been procured? Does a private investigator need to be obtained right away?

Even if there are no immediate signs of an injury, truck accident victims should have a medical evaluation. Some symptoms from a wreck do not appear for hours, days, or months. A doctor may be able to diagnose injuries before a person has symptoms. This is very common in people who have sustained brain injuries in a truck accident. If you have a brain injury from a truck accident, receiving prompt and appropriate medical treatment can make an enormous difference to your health and your claim.

The insurance company may try to talk with you about the crash or your injuries. DON’T! You are allowed to be represented by a truck accident lawyer at Toon Law Firm before talking to any insurance company. Many times our clients never have to talk with the insurance company at all.
