Benefit From Decades Of Truck Accident Experience
Trucking accidents are not only devastating but also legally complex. They often involve multiple parties and insurance companies. The severe nature of the injuries or fatalities means that the stakes are high. As a result, accidents involving delivery trucks, semi trucks and other commercial vehicles require an experienced and knowledgeable attorney with a proven skill set.
I’m Bob King, a truck accident lawyer in Johnson City. With nearly 40 years of experience, I focus my practice solely on fatal and catastrophic injury cases, including truck accidents. I represent drivers, passengers and truck drivers whose lives have been turned upside down by these tragic accidents.
I’m committed to providing the skilled and sensitive representation you deserve. When you work with me, you get direct, personal attention – I won’t rush you, judge you or ignore your needs. I’ll work tirelessly and assertively to pursue the full compensation you need.
Uncovering The Factors That Contributed To Your Truck Accident
Understanding the causes of truck accidents is crucial to addressing your claim effectively. Here are some factors that commonly contribute:
- Truck driver fatigue: Drowsy driving is incredibly dangerous. While federal safety regulations impose limits and rest breaks, truck drivers are sometimes pressured to push their limits or falsify logbooks. I can uncover if this was at play.
- Negligent hiring: Trucking companies sometimes cut corners by hiring drivers without proper background checks or qualifications.
- Improper truck maintenance: Failure to keep the truck in proper working order can lead to malfunctions and mechanical issues.
- Improper loading: Overloading or uneven loading can cause balance issues, resulting in tip-overs, falling cargo and other hazards.
- Traffic violations: Speeding, reckless driving, aggressive driving and other traffic violations are often contributing factors.
- DUI/DWI: Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a needless cause of many crashes.
- Distractions: Distracted drivers are seemingly everywhere. Distractions can include using a phone, texting while driving or engaging in any other activities that take the driver’s attention off the road.
Pinpointing negligence in these cases can be complicated. I have the skills and determination to dig deep into the cause of the accident, gather the necessary evidence and confront multiple parties involved, including insurance and trucking companies. I hold an advanced law degree in Trial Advocacy, which equips me to capably represent you in court if needed.
