According to a story, two women were in their 2006 Nissan Titan headed west on the Arizona I-10 near the Sonoita exit when they were rear ended by a car-hauler truck and badly hurt.

As Phoenix large truck accident attorneys, we have to say that this type of accident raises many questions. First of all, how would a car-hauler truck rear end another vehicle and cause such serious injuries? Also, was this a case of simple negligence or was the driver fatigued?

While we do not have the details of this particular accident, we do know that there are federal regulations protecting drivers in Arizona who are the victims of trucking accidents resulting in injuries. For instance, Arizona roadways and highways are filled with fatigued truck drivers who nod off at the wheel and cause serious injuries to Arizona residents. There are laws protecting drivers injured in such accidents.

Though, in these kinds of cases, it is vital for victims to immediately seek consultation from an experienced large truck accident attorney in Arizona. Why is time of the essence? Because after six short months, trucking companies are allowed to destroy the records that may prove whether the driver was over his federally limited hours.

Mistakes can happen in almost any situation. However, a red flag goes up in these types of trucking accidents – which is why it’s so important to contact a large truck accident lawyer.
