Phoenix Truck Accident Attorney
Arizona Truck Driver Negligence Lawyer
A truck driver who fails to adhere to traffic laws and to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) standards places everyone else on the road in grave danger. When the truck driver's negligence leads to a trucking wreck or collision with another vehicle, the size and weight of the semi-truck overpowers the passenger vehicle and can cause life-altering and even fatal injuries.
We Hold Truck Drivers Accountable for Their Negligence
At the law office of Knapp & Roberts, we understand the impact a serious trucking accident can have on the catastrophically injured and the family of fatal truck accident victims. Our personal injury attorneys put forth the experience and resources necessary to identify negligence that contributed to the truck accident and to our client's suffering. Then, we prepare a compelling case that not only tells our client's story, but that also demonstrates the recklessness of those at fault for the accident.
Through our meticulous truck accident investigation, we expose the truck driver negligence that caused or contributed to the trucking accident, including:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving/careless driving
- Failure to yield to traffic when entering the interstate
- Failure to recognize traffic speed reduction in a construction zone (and failure to stop or adjust speed accordingly)
- Driving too many hours without rest (leading to truck driver fatigue)
- Improper securing of the load
- Negligent driving/inattentive driving (eating, texting, smoking, using electronic devices while driving)
- Other truck driver negligence
When a truck driver's negligence has caused a semi-truck accident, the trucking company can be held financially responsible for the resulting damages. While trucking companies carry significant insurance to cover their liabilities resulting from a truck accident, it is crucial to have experienced counsel on your side to ensure the trucking company and insurance company play fair.
Immediately following an 18-wheeler accident, an investigation team will be deployed to the accident scene. Their sole focus is to control the accident scene and collect evidence that deflects liability and reduces the potential liability that the truck company and insurance company may be exposed to. By having an experienced truck accident lawyer in your corner from the beginning, you can rest assured that your interests will be fully preserved.
