Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases are more complex than auto accidents, even when they seem straightforward. Our Kansas City auto and truck accident attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to win these challenging cases. State and federal trucking regulations play a large role in trucking accident cases.
Liability often falls on the trucking company, even when the truck driver was at fault. Trucking companies have many legal duties including proper hiring and monitoring of drivers, properly maintaining their trucks, and extensive record keeping required to prove compliance.
In addition to the common causes of auto accidents listed above, common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Unrealistic schedules imposed on truck drivers
- Improper loading
- Overweight truck
