New York Truck Accident Lawyers

NY Auto Accident Injury Attorneys

A trucking accident occurs when large trailers (10,000+ lbs.) collide with other vehicles or pedestrians. Around 500,000 trucking accidents occur every year in the United States. Most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of vehicles while the drivers of the tractor-trailers usually escape truck-vehicle collisions with little or no personal injury.

Due to the large size of trucks, an accident can greatly endanger the lives of other smaller vehicles unnecessarily when tractor-trailer operators fail to consider proper accident prevention measures.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents:

• Unlicensed Driver
• Speeding
• Disobeying Safety Procedure
• Motor Vehicle Inspection Failure
• Repair & Maintenance Failure Failure to Yield The Right of Way
  
• 18 Wheeler Crash
• DUI / DWI
