Truck Accident Lawyers in Cedar Rapids
Proficiently Fighting for the Compensation You Deserve
Truck accidents can snowball into multicar pile-ups in the blink of an eye due to the immense weight and momentum of trucks. Semi-trucks and other powerful commercial vehicles demand the utmost responsibility of their drivers. Unfortunately, irresponsible truck drivers seriously injure huge numbers of people and cause thousands of dollars in property damage when they are negligent.
Common Causes of Negligence in Truck Accidents
Some truck drivers are negligent or reckless for a variety of reasons, including:
- Distractions, such as cell phones or GPS
- Exhaustion from driving for extended periods of time
- Failure to meet weight and overhaul standards
- Alcohol or substance abuse
- Failure to adhere to speed limits
- Drug use to stay awake for extended periods of time
Trucking accidents can be more destructive than other forms of auto accidents due to the immense size and weight of modern trucks. However, you shouldn’t let the negligence of an irresponsible truck driver damage your financial future. Apart from personal injury claims, you may also be entitled to compensation for damage to your vehicle.
