Truck Accidents We Give Power to Your Voice

Harrisonburg Truck Accident Lawyers

Serving Clients throughout Virginia

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that over 100 truck-related fatalities occur each year in the state of Virginia. Accidents involving large semi-trucks are often more complicated than those involving cars due to the amount of damage that can be caused.

Because of their size and weight, trucks and tractor-trailers are difficult to maneuver and can easily cause serious accidents.

Additionally, there may be separate insurance companies involved for the truck, the driver, and the cargo separately. This can often make resolving a truck accident claim a time-consuming and frustrating ordeal, especially without a qualified attorney.

Causes of Truck Accidents

overturned 18 wheelerIf you have been involved in a truck accident, you need to obtain legal representation immediately. The separate insurers can delay the legal process, while any injuries you may have suffered need medical attention.

These medical bills can quickly stack up; meanwhile, you may be missing out on work, leaving you without any income. At Obenshain Law Group, our Harrisonburg truck accident attorneys can represent victims no matter how complex the circumstances may be.

Trucking accidents are typically caused by one of the following:

  • Driver error: This can include driver fatigue, inattention, distraction (texting, etc.), or driving while intoxicated
  • Truck equipment failure: This can include design flaws, manufacturing errors, or mechanical issues with the truck
  • Weather conditions: Bad weather can increase the likelihood of an accident. Trucks cannot stop as quickly on slick or icy surfaces – so if it is has been raining or snowing, there may be a greater chance for a collision
  • Improper loading: If a truck's cargo has been loaded incorrectly, it can cause them to roll over with greater ease
  • Sub-standard truck drivers/companies: Some drivers or trucks may not be driving or acting in accordance with FMCSA regulations
  • Failure to maintain the truck: If the trucking company does not perform required maintenance on the vehicle, it could be a safety risk and lead to a serious accident
  • Lack of driver training: Under-qualified or untrained drivers may be unable to drive their vehicle and cause an accident
  • Speeding: By driving too fast, a truck driver puts himself and everyone else on the road in danger
