Worse, many victims are killed in tragic trucking accidents.

If you or a loved one suffered in a truck accident, an expert Arizona truck accident attorney can take the burden of insurance claims, legal deadlines, and possible lawsuits off your shoulders while working to recover the maximum fair compensation you and your family deserve.

Truck Accident Injuries

Due to the inherent size and weight of large trucks, collisions with passenger vehicles are often catastrophic and fatal. On highway I-10 alone, there were over 1,400 fatalities in a single year. Common injuries sustained in truck accidents include:

  • Amputation
  • Internal organ damage
  • Lacerations
  • Neck and spine injuries
  • Nerve damage
  • Paralysis
  • Severe contusions
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Death

These injuries and more can leave a victim disabled for the rest of their life, unable to return to work and facing a lifetime of suffering. We understand that no amount of money can fix a broken body, but fair compensation can help make the best of a tragic situation.

Who Can be Held Liable?

Determining liability in a Casa Grande truck accident can be challenging due to the number of factors involved. The truck company’s insurance agency will work diligently to prove that you or another driver were at fault to avoid paying an insurance claim, while the truth is that many parties may be responsible. Some of the common parties responsible for truck accidents include:

The truck driver: In many cases, the truck driver is responsible for the accident due to illegal or unsafe driving practices. Truckers have a daily limit on the number of hours they can drive, but many truckers push past this limit and falsify their logs to keep their schedule. Truck drivers also have more strict requirements regarding alcohol, and this too is often ignored and not followed.

The truck company: The truck company is responsible for safe hiring practices, as well as adequately training their drivers. When truck companies hire individuals who aren’t qualified or skimp their training, they can also be held liable.

The truck maintenance team: Trucks are required to undergo routine maintenance to ensure they are kept safe. If this maintenance is skimped or ignored, the maintenance team can be liable.

Another driver on the road: A common cause of truck accidents is another passenger vehicle practicing unsafe driving and colliding with a truck, causing a multi-vehicle collision to occur.

The agency responsible for maintaining safe road conditions: Unsafe road conditions, including large potholes, poorly-lit roads, unsafe turns, and more can cause even an experienced truck driver to have an accident.

Equipment manufacturers: When a critical piece of equipment on a truck fails, an accident can occur. When this is the result of a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer may be held liable through a product liability lawsuit.
