It’s no secret that here in Connecticut, we live amongst some of the country’s most heavily used roadways. If cars are using these roadways, so are big tractor trailer trucks. An experienced attorney can help you file your tractor trailer truck claim if you are ever in an accident.
The trucking industry is highly regulated by both federal and state governments. If you sustained an injury in a trucking accident, prompt investigation is critical to any case. Some of the ways a truck driver could be negligent are:
- Driver fatigue
- Truck accidents caused by shifting and/or falling cargo
- Failure to properly maintain, inspect and repair equipment
- Drunk driving (criminal charges may also apply to these cases)
- Catastrophic wrongful death trucking accidents
