Hartford County Truck Accident Lawyers

The sheer size and weight of a semi-truck virtually guarantees serious injuries to anyone in a smaller vehicle involved in a truck accident.  But since trucks are commercial vehicles subject to trucking laws, company policies, and complex processes needed to get them on the road, the specialized support of an experienced truck accident lawyer is critical for injury victims in Hartford County to effectively pursue the compensation they deserve.

In addition, the attorneys at Newman, Creed & Associates are familiar with the layers of insurance between truck companies and the trailers that they haul.

Trucking accidents have many possible causes

There can be many causes for a trucking accident, including one or more of the following:

• Driver error.  Driving a long haul without rest can result in exhaustion or lack of concentration.
• Mechanical failures.  A blown tire or break failure are just two examples of situations that can cause drivers to lose control over their vehicles.
• Improper preparation.  Shortcuts taken when inspecting a vehicle prior to a run can result in serious failures on the road.
• Imbalanced loads.  Cargo that has not been carefully loaded in a trailer can shift in transit, causing a jack-knife or loss of control.
• Truck company requirements.  Truck companies may try to meet emergency customer requirements by setting unreasonable deadlines that encourage drivers to cut rest periods short or take other risks.

Each trucking accident attorney at Newman Creed & Associates conducts an in-depth investigation of every accident for clients in Hartford County to uncover all causes and identify all liable parties.
