Tractor Trailer Accidents

Semi-Truck, Eighteen Wheeler, and Tractor Trailer Crashes

Injuries or deaths from wrecks with a commercial vehicle is a category of law that requires more than average knowledge and ability than the general personal injury practitioner is apt to possess. There are many federal regulations that govern the operation of commercial vehicles, especially large interstate trucking companies with which the lawyer representing the injured person needs to be familiar. The great majority of these accidents result from driver fatigue. Driver’s fatigue results from the trucker falsifying his log book to enable him to drive many more hours that the law allows. Money and job performance is the motive. The trucker is usually paid by the mile. Because most of these collisions are the result of driver fatigue, they are usually characterized by rear end collisions where the trucker hardly slowed the tractor-trailer before impact, and the drifting out of the traveling lane into other traffic.

Trucking companies are multi-million dollar corporations that will use all their resources to keep you from uncovering their responsibility for such wrecks and holding them accountable for their irresponsible and sometimes illegal actions. You need an attorney who is accustomed to dealing with such corporations and their tactics. The James Law Group has over thirty years of experience in handling such cases.
