Rental Truck Accident Lawyer

Rental trucks are often much larger and have more blind spots than the everyday vehicles most people are accustomed to driving. A driver that is less-experienced behind the wheel of a large truck can put other driver’s at risk for an accident, serious injuries, and even death. Compounded with this lack of experience, trucking companies often do not keep their rental vehicles properly maintained, which can put these drivers into difficult situations that the average driver does not know how to react to.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

Rental Truck Companies

Rental truck companies often try to pass liability for accidents that occur in their vehicles off onto the party who rented the truck. While these driver’s do have liability for their actions, accidents can also occur because of poorly maintained trucks.

Rental truck companies have thousands of vehicles on the roadways and they often use loopholes in the laws to avoid keeping their rental vehicles up to the standards that every other trucking company is required to follow.

The issues most commonly reported in rental trucks include:

• Old vehicles-Rental truck companies will often push the vehicles in their fleet beyond their recommended mileage to prevent spending money on newer vehicles. Old trucks have suffered wear-and-tear that increases their risk for causing accidents and injuries.
• Overdue inspections-Rental trucks are not considered commercial vehicles which means the U.S. Department of Transportation does not oversee their inspections. Without the strict regulations that other trucking companies must follow in place, rental truck companies often let inspections of their vehicles slide to much longer than is safe.
• Lack of maintenance-If inspections are not done routinely maintenance issues are often missed until an accident happens. Rental truck companies will also try to pass off maintenance issues as driver negligence in an attempt to secure more money from unsuspecting drivers.
• Manufacturing defects-In some cases, a manufacturing defect is the cause of a rental truck accident. In those instances, both the rental truck company and the parts manufacturer would share liability.

If you or a loved one have been injured by a rental truck, it is important to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to determine which party or parties may be at-fault and to secure the compensation you deserve.
