Phoenix Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck Accident Claims in Arizona
When standard-size vehicles collide with large commercial trucks, the chances of someone sustaining a serious or fatal injury are high. Not only can multi-ton trucks cause serious damage on their own, but heavy and hazardous cargo can also cause extensive harm. Whatever the case may be, when victims suffer harm in preventable truck accidents, they may be able to hold negligent trucking companies liable.

Understanding Truck Accidents
Trucks are massive machines, and because they're heavy, difficult to maneuver, and slow to stop, they present a danger to everyone on public roads. Because of this, the trucking industry is heavily regulated to ensure that trucking companies and truck drivers play by the rules and take reasonable steps to keep the public safe from common causes of truck accidents.
Below are common causes of truck accidents:
- Negligent Drivers – Careless and negligent truck drivers present a danger to everyone. This is why federal regulators enforce a number of laws to ensure drivers act responsibly. These laws include strict drug and alcohol policies to prevent impaired driving accidents, strict license and training requirements, and other various laws that prohibit negligent behaviors such as texting while driving, distracted driving, speeding, and aggressive driving.
- Trucking Company Negligence – Trucking companies are required by law to ensure their vehicles and drivers are safe. These means that trucking companies must keep detailed records, ensure that vehicles don't have defective equipment, and properly train drivers.
- Overworked Drivers – Tired drivers pose a serious hazard on public roadways. For this reason, trucking laws have strict policies in place to regulate the hours truck drivers can and cannot work. These laws are known as Hours-of-Service regulations.
