Arizona Trucking Accident Lawyer
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, trucks are involved in millions of traffic accidents every year. In fact, over four million traffic accidents involving large trucks and light trucks occurred in 2006. These numbers are frightening for the many people who opt to buy truck-based vehicles like SUVs, vans and pick-ups for their perceived safety and versatility.
While many feel safer in larger, truck-based vehicles, these vehicles have problems of their own. For one thing, trucks are not held to the same safety standards as cars. That means that certain federal safety standards, like roof strength, are significantly lower for trucks than they are for cars—even though the two vehicle types are used as passenger vehicles. Additionally, a high center of gravity and narrow tire track make it easier for trucks to be involved in serious rollover accidents. Combine a rollover accident with a weak roof and serious personal injuries are inevitable.
Legal recourse may be available to those injured in a truck accident. Depending on the nature of the accident, another driver may be at fault for your injuries, or your vehicle’s manufacturer may be ultimately responsible. An experienced Arizona trucking accident lawyer should be able to thoroughly investigate your accident and help you determine who is liable for your accident.
