Albany and Syracuse New York Truck Accident Injury Attorneys

Our law firm's team of experts will conduct a thorough investigation of the accident to hold at-fault parties liable. A variety of factors are considered when examining accountability, including:

• Individual truck driver's role in driving negligently: Operators of large trucks are often on the road for long hours and are pressured to complete their routes. The truck operators may drive recklessly or are fatigued and fall asleep behind the wheel.
  
• Trucking companies' responsibilities in following federal regulations: Sometimes trucking companies take shortcuts, and do not properly maintain their trucks or overload the cargo on the truck itself.

The trucking industry is mandated by federal regulations with regard to maintenance and the amount of weight a truck may carry. The truck operators and trucking companies are supposed to abide by these guidelines, but not all rules are followed. Not only can the driver be held liable, but trucking companies can also be held accountable for their drivers' negligence regarding:

• Driver fatigue
• Overloaded trucks
• Unsecured loads
• Falling objects and debris
• Speeding
• Tailgating
• Wide turns
• Distracted driving, such as texting and mobile phone use
• Tire blowouts and tread burn
• Jackknife accidents
