GRAND PRAIRIE TRUCK AND 18-WHEELER ACCIDENT LAWYER

18-WHEELER AND TRUCK INJURY ATTORNEY GRAND PRAIRIE

Truck/18-Wheeler accidents cause more than 100,000 injuries and over 5200 deaths in the United States each year. Tractor trailers, 18 wheelers, big rigs, and semi-trucks, no matter what you call them, these accidents are an all too common daily occurrence in Grand Prairie and across the country. They result in millions of dollars of property damage, as well as serious injuries and death.

Truck accidents too frequently are the result of truckers and transportation companies cutting corners in an attempt to reduce operating costs, and meet tight deadlines. The good thing is, as the sector is highly regulated, it means that when truck/18-wheeler accidents occur, there’s normally a paper trail to follow. At The Goolsby Law Firm we know how to follow that trail, and gather the facts necessary to present a strong case.

The pressure on companies to make fast on-time deliveries and reduce costs in a search for efficiency, plus the competition brought about by deregulation, are major factors. 18-wheeler drivers are often encouraged to spend long hours behind the wheel with little or no sleep. Unfortunately to improve profit margins and deliver as fast as possible these trucks are regularly breaking the speed limit, this all adds to the danger these vehicles pose. The physical size of these vehicles means that truck/18-wheeler accidents are seldom trivial. It also makes them difficult to control or stop if an emergency or chance of a collision presents itself.

Commercial transport in trucks is necessary to maintain our way of life, they transport many of the goods which we rely on daily, including necessities such as food and medication, and luxuries like electronics and more. The result of this reliance on trucking is that our highways and streets are more often than not filled with these large trucks. This should not necessarily be a problem, properly maintained trucks that are operated within the rules and regulations prescribed should make them as safe as they can be. Unfortunately this is not always the case, trucking companies and drivers that do not follow the rules are posing an avoidable danger to all of us who use our road network. These companies and individuals need to be held to account if they cause injuries, damage, or death, to innocent victims.
