TRUCKING ACCIDENT

By Jacklin Boyadjian posted in Truck Accidents on Thursday, August 4, 2011

Have you or someone you love been severely injured in a trucking accident?

Trucking accidents comprise an inordinate number of highway fatalities across the nation. Truck accidents result from many potential causes, including:

Violations of state and federal trucking regulations
Defective truck equipment/mechanical failure
Truck driver fatigue
Overloaded trucks/unsecured loads
Impaired drivers

Due to the sheer size of a semi-truck, the injuries caused by a trucking accident are often catastrophic. These injuries may include brain injury, spinal cord injury, burns, scarring, disfigurement and wrongful death.

The consequences for the victims of a truck accident, as well as the suffering of their loved ones, are immeasurable.

If you or someone you love has suffered a severe injury as the result of negligence, malice, or recklessness on the part of a third party, you may be entitled to compensation for the financial and physical toll the injury has had on you. Please call Mardirossian and Associates, Inc for a free consultation at 800-341-4607.
