Large Truck Accidents
Accidents involving large trucks are among the most serious and most deadly in the United States. At Crary Clark & Domanico, we recognize that handling these cases requires a thorough understanding of commercial vehicle regulations on both the federal and state level. Trucking companies are required to follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations concerning their equipment and their drivers' hours of service. In Washington, the Utilities and Transportation Commission is also charged with the task of adopting regulations regarding the safety of motor carriers.In all truck cases, it is essential that measures be taken to preserve evidence and investigate the collision. The best chance of collecting damages to cover the expenses and losses involved with severe truck injury accidents is when we can establish negligence of the driver, a violation of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the responsibility of the employer to use proper screening, hiring, and training of drivers. We work with trucking industry experts, accident reconstruction experts, and highway safety engineers to investigate and establish negligence.
Whether or not a truck driver’s negligence was the sole factor in the accident that caused a serious or fatal injury, our lawyers have the experience with complex accident litigation necessary to maximize the chances of a favorable settlement or verdict.
In all large truck accident cases, it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and to enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries.
