Injuries from Truck Accidents

Truck accident victims characteristically sustain the same types of injuries as car accident and motorcycle accident victims. The difference is that trucks – often many times the size of normal cars – have much greater destructive potential in a crash. Catastrophic injuries, including brain injuries and spinal cord damage, burn injuries, and severe disabilities are all more common in truck accident cases handled by our lawyers.

The truck accident lawyers at Fox, Goldblatt & Singer, P.C. serving residents in and around St. Louis County and St. Charles County in Missouri, as well as Madison County and St. Clair County in Illinois will be meticulous about reconstructing your truck accident. Our lawyers investigate each case thoroughly in order to determine all contributing factors and to identify all liable parties.

If you are injured in a truck accident, our personal injury attorneys can help you get compensated. Our legal team will also assist in filing a wrongful death suit if the truck accident results in the loss of a loved one.

Truck Accident Risk Factors

Truck drivers occasionally drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The dangers of driving under the influence (DUI) are well documented, and drivers who put others at risk in this way can be held responsible for an ensuing truck accident.

Fatigue is another risk factor contributing to truck crashes and tractor trailer wrecks. Truck drivers adhere to tight schedules, and there is strong incentive for them to drive long hours, even while fatigued. Drivers are required to adhere to strict scheduling requirements, but some ignore these limits in order to make faster deliveries. If a truck driver violates DUI / DWI laws or drives while fatigued, he or she can be held responsible for the resulting truck accident.

Injured victims can count on the truck accident attorneys at Fox, Goldblatt & Singer, P.C. to litigate against trucking companies where appropriate. Companies that hire drivers with bad driving records or drug abuse histories, or that encourage their employees to violate driving hours regulations, may be equally liable for damages that result from a truck accident.
