Truck Accidents: Protecting Victims and Holding Negligent Parties Accountable

Understanding the Severity of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are some of the most devastating collisions on the road, often leading to catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Due to their massive size and weight, commercial trucks pose significant risks to passenger vehicles. The legal complexity of truck accident claims requires a skilled and experienced legal team to secure fair compensation for victims. BD&J, PC, led by Michael Madadi, specializes in handling truck accident cases, ensuring that victims receive the justice they deserve.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

• Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers are often pressured to meet strict deadlines, leading to drowsy driving and impaired judgment.
• Improper Vehicle Maintenance: Faulty brakes, worn tires, and engine malfunctions increase the likelihood of accidents.
• Distracted Driving: The use of cell phones, GPS systems, or other distractions contributes to driver negligence.
• Reckless Driving: Speeding, aggressive lane changes, and tailgating create dangerous situations on the road.
• Poorly Loaded Cargo: Overloaded or unbalanced cargo can destabilize a truck, leading to rollovers or loss of control.

Injuries and Consequences for Victims

Victims of truck accidents often suffer severe, life-changing injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
• Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis
• Broken Bones and Fractures
