Highway Truck Accident Injury Attorneys
The highways and freeways in the United States, filled with unqualified, untrained or simply careless commercial truck drivers, are dangerous enough. Add to that an unsafe roadway, and crashes become more frequent and more serious. According to a nationwide study*, more than half of the fatal accidents that occur in the United States are related to deficient roadway conditions. These conditions — factors such as improperly marked construction sites, tight turns, and poorly maintained roads — require that truck drivers and operators take extra caution. Sadly, many do not. This inevitably leads to an increased number of truck accidents.

The Crash May Have Been Caused By Someone Other Than The Truck Driver
While the truck driver may have been a substantial cause of the crash, dangerous and defective roads often play a part as well. Depending on the facts, this may subject a state, county, city or even a private company to potential liability. The truck accident attorneys don't leave any stone unturned, completing a full investigation to determine all potential at-fault parties.
Truckers Should Know Better Than to Drive Dangerously on Dangerous Roads
Truckers receive reports about highway construction, weather and other factors. They know their route. They know the most dangerous roads. They know that certain roads, such as I-10 and I-95, have a reputation for many truck crashes. And, as professionals with commercial drivers' licenses (CDLs), they have a duty to properly operate a truck in these most dangerous conditions.
All too often, they operate their eighteen wheelers, delivery trucks, buses, and other vehicles in a way that endangers others on the road. This is true no matter what type of road is involved:
