Portland Truck Driving Accident Attorneys
Trucking Accident Lawyers
A truck driving accident may qualify for a personal injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit if a driver was negligent and therefore caused an accident which resulted in injury and/or death. In a truck driving accident, negligence may be defined as a driver failing to act with a reasonable level of caution and care. Following are a few examples of negligent driving:
- A driver who disobeys a traffic law, such as running a red light
- A driver who is speeding
- A truck driver who is exhausted due to a strenuous schedule and is therefore not alert
- Drunk driving
- A driver who is driving recklessly or racing
Truck driver negligence can easily lead to catastrophic injury and even death, usually to the driver or passengers of the other vehicles involved in the accident, not to the truck driver. In fact, in 2007, three out of four people who lost their lives in truck driving accidents were passengers of other vehicles.
