Central New York Attorneys Representing Interstate Trucking Accident Victims
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Large Truck Crash Causation Study of 2005, 46% of the nation's accidents involving large trucks occurred on rural and urban interstate highways.
Frequent types of crashes both on interstate highways and other types of freeways, roadways and city streets included rear-end collisions, roadside departure, sideswipe and turning across or into the path of another vehicle, straight-on intersecting crashes, rollover, collision with objects in the road and head-on collisions.
Commonly cited causes included tire blow outs, traveling too fast for the conditions, jackknife events and cargo shifts. ( See report.)
A thorough investigation into all relevant facts and circumstances is an important part of what we do for our clients who have been injured in interstate trucking accidents at The Stanley Law Offices, LLP. If driver fatigue or truck maintenance violations caused or contributed to an interstate trucking accident, our attorneys are prepared to uncover and document evidence by carefully reviewing the truck driver's log and testimony.
Serious Injuries and Fatalities in Interstate Eighteen-Wheeler Accidents
Momentum, immense weight and slow braking response of a big rig truck make it potentially hazardous for them to share interstates with automobiles, particularly in bad weather or near construction zones. Each driver relies on others' adherence to traffic safety laws and common sense. When an accident occurs between a car and a tractor trailer, however, it may not seem to matter who was "right" - the automobile driver and passengers are likely to take the brunt of the injuries.
Our lawyers represent injury victims, widows and children of the deceased after serious tractor trailer accident cases occurring on Interstate 90, I-86, I-81, I-17 and on other major traffic arteries in and around Syracuse, Binghamton and Watertown, New York and Montrose, Pennsylvania.
Our four office locations offer convenient access to trucking accident victims in need of the legal counsel and representation. Contact our law firm to schedule a consultation after an interstate trucking accident has resulted in a brain injury, spinal cord injury or death. Ask about home or hospital visits if needed.
