Wilkes-Barre and Scranton – Tractor Trailer Accidents

Accidents that involve one or more tractor trailers almost always result in serious injuries like brain injury and spinal cord injury and can even lead to the wrongful death of a victim, especially when a passenger car is involved in the collision. And, due to the fact the federal government regulates commercial trucking, cases and claims involving tractor trailers become all the more complicated. Our Wilkes-Barre and Scranton area tractor trailer lawyers have extensive experience in dealing with these types of accidents and their aftermath.

Common Causes of Tractor Trailer Accidents

As tractor trailers are used by businesses to transport goods, the drive to maximize profit by minimizing time on the road can often lead to company policies and goals that compromise the safety of both the truck driver and the vehicles on the road. A recent survey of long-haul truck drivers (drivers who typically do not return to their location of dispatch), disclosed that drivers admitted to having fallen asleep while driving in the month prior to the survey. The profit and deadline-driven agendas of trucking businesses cause drivers to throw caution and prudence aside and place innocent drivers at risk. When innocent drivers and passengers are injured or killed because of these unwise decisions, many parties may be held liable for the tragic results.

With the help of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton area lawyers from our law firm, victims of tractor trailer accidents and their families may be able to file a suit against the various parties that contributed to the injuries or fatalities. Not only is the truck driver typically responsible for reckless and negligent driving, the driver’s employer may also be held responsible.
