Many collisions that occur either between a tractor-trailer and cars or SUVs, or just two automobiles often results in catastrophic injuries for the people in the passenger vehicle. In general it is rare that someone walks away from a trucking or auto accident without some bruising, injuries, aches and pains. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 98% of the deaths in trucking and auto accidents happen to passengers in the smaller vehicles. At The Johnson Law Firm we help truck and automobile accident victims and their families recover the most money for their injuries and losses.
Trucking accidents are often caused by corporate greed
The primary goal of trucking companies is the all mighty dollar and profit. They repeatedly hire unqualified drivers that are convicted felons or chronic drug users. Trucking companies also fail to maintain their equipment, encourage exhausted drivers to maintain illegal log books, and overload tractor trailers. A family vacation or casual drive on any major highway in the United States or anywhere can quickly turn into a tragedy if the car is struck by an 18-wheeler.
Manufacturers and distributors of equipment are often equally guilty of putting profit before safety and thereby risking the lives of motorists. These companies allow dangerous equipment, including defective brakes and tires, to reach the public.
