Truck Accident Law in Sherman, TX

Commercial trucks like big rigs and delivery trucks present unique dangers to smaller vehicles and their passengers. Because of their larger size, truck accidents can be much more devastating than normal car accidents. When cars collide with trucks, it’s often the people in the car who are injured or killed. If you were recently involved in an accident with a truck, you should learn about your rights and legal options by speaking with a compassionate truck and semi-truck accident lawyer at the Law Office of David M. Kennedy, P.C.

Areas of Liability

We investigate a variety of factors that may have contributed to your accident, beginning with a recognition that semi-trucks often weigh 20 to 30 times as much as the passenger cars they destroy on impact.

• There may have been inadequate training related to safe driving techniques, general safety issues, and defensive driving.
• Some companies may encourage faster vehicle speeds and more hours of consecutive vehicle operation than would normally be advisable.
• Despite the safety risks involved, the unrealistic schedules of trucking companies may encourage drivers to hurry, bend the rules, and cut safety corners.
• Many companies have a hidden history of safety violations and thumbing their nose at Regulatory Agencies.
• Black boxes track every move of many of these trucks and can be used to expose neglect and the true cause of the accident.
• Truck driver fatigue is involved in many of these accidents.
• NAFTA has no doubt increased 18-wheeler traffic numbers on our roadways, with shoddy maintenance and licensing avoidance being a known consequence.
