Semi Truck Accident
Every year, thousands of motorists are maimed or killed as a direct result of the negligent operation of a tractor trailer or the negligent maintenance of semi-trucks by their owners. The owners and operators of these semi-trucks have a responsibility to the general public to operate and maintain their vehicles in a responsible manner.
All to often, these big-rig companies and their drivers promote unsafe driving practices such as speeding, transporting oversized loads and traveling for extremely long distances without taking the legally required "break" time in order to save money. These unsafe practices put the people at risk.
The links below contain valuable information about trucking safety and what precautions the government requires trucking companies to take:
