Arizona Truck Accident Lawyers Save Lives
by Arizona Truck Accident Attorney - Mark Breyer
That's right, Arizona trucking accidents are far too common and they kill far too many people. So many drivers are ignoring the federal regulations and driving over their hours when they are fatigued and they are falling asleep at the wheel. Or, in some cases, while they are awake they are so tired they are not paying any attention to the road and they are maiming and killing people who have done nothing wrong but to get in the way of their greed. That's right, their greed. You cannot fault any man for working hard. The truckers who drive across country and across the State of Arizona should be applauded for their hard work and effort. Anyone who suggests that as a trucking accident lawyer who helps victims of tractor trailer accidents sue trucking companies that I am therefore against truckers is absolutely off base. I applaud truckers and all of their hard work. However, none of us are allowed to risk the lives of innocent people for the purposes of making a greater profit. And, for the truckers who ignore the federal regulations that is exactly what they do. And, for the trucking industry and the trucking companies that encourage their drivers to go over the hours and over the federal regulations and limits, what they are saying is that profit is more important than people. They are saying they don't care if a certain number of people are maimed or killed, as long as they can make a greater profit.
And here is where good and experienced Arizona personal injury lawyers who take on the trucking industry and help people after trucking accidents on the Arizona highways save lives. Maybe it's better to say that it's not the Arizona personal injury lawyers that are saving lives, but their clients who have the guts to take on the 18 wheeler companies and tractor trailer corporations that put them in jeopardy every day.
You see, for the trucking accidents that are caused by fatigue, that occurs because of the greed of both the trucker and the trucking company. Far too often, the trucking company claims that they want their employees to drive within the regulations, but they have figured out they can make a greater profit if their truckers drive too many hours. Now, they are correct. The trucking companies make a greater profit by injuring and killing people while their drivers drive the extra hours so long as there aren't people willing to bring the lawsuits and to make sure that they have to pay for their greed. However, for the lawyers who are willing to take on trucking companies - in front of people who have been seriously injured or the families who have lost a loved one because of a fatigued or overly tired tucker - that lawsuit not only compensates them for their terrible and unnecessary loss, but it makes it harder for trucking companies to justify turning a blind eye - or even encouraging - their drivers to go over the federal regulations.
Truck drivers are professional drivers. This does not make them perfect. Sometimes trucking accidents are just caused by basic negligence. However, if you check the incredible number of miles that most truckers drive over the road without a serious injury - there is no question that most of these men and women are true professionals. On the other hand, there are some who simply violate the laws. There are some who don't care about anything other than their own pockets. There are some companies doing the same. That is why so many serious trucking accidents have so many red flags that fatigue was involved. It is why trucking accident victims can save lives. It is why Phoenix trucking accident lawyers can save lives by going after the industry that does harm to people injured in Arizona trucking accidents.
