Information Regarding Your Rights After a Truck Accident
Semi trucks operate differently than cars and pickups. When you are in an auto wreck involving a large commercial vehicle, then, it can be difficult to understand what caused the accident. The personal injury attorneys of Metzger & Kleiner have assisted clients following semi truck accidents for more than 40 years. One of the first steps in assisting clients and their families after a truck accident is to explain the likely cause of the accident. Truck accidents are often caused by:- Shifting loads and cargos
- Drivers who don't follow federal regulations regarding sleep, rest and medication
- Drivers and transport companies that fail to adhere to federal regulations regarding vehicle maintenance, including tire and brake care
- Visibility issues
- Inadequate screening upon hiring of truck drivers
