An 18-Wheeled Nightmare

Interstate trucking is vital to this nation’s economy and, at the same time, responsible for some of the most horrible motor vehicle accidents imaginable. If you or a family member has been recently injured in a truck accident or 18-wheeler accident — it is critically important that you talk to an attorney as soon as possible. The insurance companies aren’t wasting any time working to minimize or deny your claim — you shouldn’t either.

Our Wisconsin firm handles truck accident injury and wrongful death claims on behalf of injured victims and grieving families throughout the state of Wisconsin. Given the enormity of a truck’s size compared to other vehicles on the road, a major truck accident or semi crash can occur for any number of reasons, the most common of which include:

• Reckless driving, excessive speeding
• Driver fatigue (falling asleep at the wheel) or intoxication
• Poor maintenance
• Faulty or defective equipment, brake failure
• Improperly loaded or secured cargo

There are strict regulations at local, state and federal levels that govern commercial vehicle operators. These regulations dictate everything from the maintenance procedures required to make the vehicles safe for the road, to mandatory driving breaks intended to ensure that truck drivers don’t fall asleep at the wheel due to sleep deprivation. Our attorneys know these regulations; they know where to look for evidence that the rules haven’t been followed; and they will fight hard to obtain the full and fair amount of compensation you deserve.
