Experienced Truck Accident Attorney Based in Columbus
Semi-trucks are an essential part of our economy and transportation system. Unfortunately, because of their large size and the high rate of speed at which they travel on our country’s interstate system, accidents between semi-trucks and passenger cars often be deadly or result in serious, life-altering injuries.
More than 4,000 people die in accidents involving large trucks each year, and more than 100,000 others are seriously injured annually, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. The NHTSA reports that two-thirds of the fatalities were people in other vehicles, not the semi-trucks.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident with a truck, you need an experienced truck accident lawyer to fight for your rights. The laws and regulations related to the trucking industry can be difficult to understand. The experienced legal professionals of The Fitch Law Firm have the knowledge and experience necessary to get you the compensation you deserve. Call 855-LAW-OHIO today for a free consultation.
Semi-truck accidents can be deadly
According to the National Highway Transportation Administration, one out of every 8 fatal crashes on American highways involves a semi-truck. Because trucks usually weigh up to 30 times more than cars, many times the people killed in accidents involving semi-trucks are the drivers or passengers of other vehicles, and not the driver of the truck.
Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Speeding
- Overloading
- Equipment failure
- Tailgating
- Distracted driving, including cellphone use
- Bad weather conditions
- Poor visibility
