Speeding Truck Accident Lawyer

When any vehicle is speeding on the roadways it puts other drivers at-risk. When that vehicle is a commercial truck that can weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds, speeding becomes even more hazardous. Speeding is reckless behavior and a truck driver that injures others because of his negligence needs to be held accountable for his actions.

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.

Why Truck Drivers Speed

Truck drivers speed for a variety of reasons including driver fatigue, driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs or prescription medications, improper training, and reckless driving. One of the biggest reasons that truck drivers speed is because they are on unrealistic deadline. Truck drivers are paid by the mile and trucking companies often put pressure on their drivers or offer bonus incentives to deliver their cargo as quickly as possible.

Speeding can also occur because a truck driver is driving while distracted and their attention is taken away from the roadway. This may be when they are daydreaming, eating, texting, checking a GPS system, playing with their radio, or talking on a cell phone. Regardless as to why it happened, if a truck driver was speeding and caused an accident, they should be held accountable for their actions.

Determining Liability in a Speeding Truck Accident

In a speeding truck accident, it is obvious that the truck driver is liable for their actions, but additional parties may also be determined to be at-fault for any damages and injuries that have occurred.

For example, if it can be proven that a trucking company put undue pressure on their driver to complete their runs as quickly as possible and the driver did not take the federally required rest breaks, the trucking company may also be liable. Or, if a trucking company did not ensure that the driver was properly trained and was healthy enough to be behind the wheel, they could be found at-fault as well.

If the speeding truck accident was due to defective truck parts or an improperly maintained vehicle, the trucking company, parts manufacturer, and even the mechanical company in charge of maintenance could be found as partially liable for the accident.

An experienced personal injury lawyer can review all the evidence and make a determination as to which party or parties may be responsible for your damages.

Damages in a Speeding Truck Accident

Because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, the damages and injuries they produce when they are involved in an accident can be catastrophic. If you or a loved one was involved in a speeding truck accident you may be entitled to the following:
