Columbus Truck Accident Attorney

Protecting Victims of Truck Accidents

Semi-truck drivers, owner/operators, and trucking companies have to operate their vehicles in a safe, responsible manner. Because trucks are so much larger and heavier than passenger vehicles, they are much, much harder to stop.

Eighty percent of all persons killed in an automobile versus semi-truck accidents were passengers or drivers in the automobile. Victims typically suffer catastrophic injuries such as traumatic head injury, spinal cord damage, or paralysis. Many accidents can result in wrongful death.

Most of us have seen or experienced the reckless driving of a trucker. These dangerous driving behaviors cause hundreds of truck crashes per year.

Negligent acts that lead to accidents include:

Aggressive Driving
Tailgating
Speeding
Cell phone use
Texting while driving
Long work shifts and driver fatigue
Untrained and unqualified drivers
Drug and alcohol abuse
Failure to properly inspect and maintain lights, safety equipment, tires, and brakes
Unbalanced or overloaded cargo

Truckers are especially vulnerable to the dangerous driving of others. Actually, more truck drivers are killed on the job than members of any other profession. Fatalities for truck drivers occurred five times more often than the national average for industrial fatalities in all businesses combined.
