New York saw more than 12,500 traffic accidents involving large trucks in 2008, according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Truck accidents caused 6,084 personal injuries and 114 deaths. In addition to crashes with cars and pickups, large trucks in New York were involved in 230 accidents with pedestrians, 57 bicycle accidents and 58 motorcycle accidents.
If you were hit by a truck -- also known as a tractor trailer, semi-truck or 18-wheeler -- you may have been the victim of the trucker's negligent driving. Federal research has identified the common factors behind many truck crashes, including driver inattention or distraction, following too closely, failure to yield the right-of-way, unsafe lane changing and speeding. Driver inattention -- caused by cell phone use or other distractions behind the wheel – is a factor in nearly one-fifth of all truck accidents.
All of those causes point to negligent driving by the truck driver, making him or her liable for your injuries. But the driver may not be the only responsible party. Our truck accident attorneys are skilled at investigating and analyzing truck accident reports and determining all the parties with potential liability, including the truck driver, the trucking company and their insurance companies.
