Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Let Our Car Accident Attorneys Get You the Compensation You Deserve

As our lives become busier, we spend more time driving on the roads and highways.  Increased traffic congestion means more frequently occurring motor vehicle accidents. Cell phones and other driving distractions, driving while intoxicated or overly tired, exceeding the speed limit, disobeying traffic signs and signals, and reckless and dangerous drivers are some of the human factors that cause accidents. Dangerous conditions of the roadway may also be a contributing factor. The constant presence of large semi-trucks, which are important to American industry, also present unique dangers inherent in such large vehicles. Semi-truck drivers generally operate at lower than average speeds, and cause other drivers to make sudden risky lane changes. Their mirrors often do not provide adequate lines of vision. The distance necessary to make a complete stop is much longer because of their heavy weight.  They are prone to tipping and jack-knifing due to their high center of gravity. Semi-trucks can cause further damage if their cargo is unable to withstand an accident, and enters the roadway.

Furthermore, public transportation providers must abide by specific laws to ensure the safety of their passengers and others on the roadway. The companies and entities that provide public transportation are responsible for the safe functioning and maintenance of their vehicles, and hiring, training, and supervision of their operators.
