In one year alone (between 2012 and 2013), the number of fatal accidents involving large commercial trucks increased by 16%, and trucking accidents consistently result in more serious injuries and fatalities than any other type of auto accident. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving a large truck due to 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, and this includes working with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

Trucking companies occasionally attempt to avoid following certain regulations to avoid paying additional expenses, such as for the repair and maintenance of vehicles or by limiting drivers’ hours to limit their wages. Here are some of the most common factors in accidents involving large trucks:

  • Drivers working too many hours (especially consecutively) – Some trucking companies enforce strict deadlines which are difficult for drivers to meet, resulting in fatigue and the temptation to falsify driver-logs to compensate for needed rest.
  • Lack of maintenance – Trucking companies must properly maintain their vehicles to ensure that engines, tires, hydraulics, and braking systems are functioning properly.
  • Lack of equipment-inspections – Truck drivers must also regularly check their vehicles for serviceable problems, especially before embarking on long drives.
  • Defective design/manufacture – Some trucks or pieces of trucking equipment are defectively designed or manufactured in the first place, which can result in a serious malfunction on the road and a potential accident.
