trucking

Since 1990, more than 35,000 drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and law enforcement officers have been killed or injured in truck accidents on Indiana highways.  Many national trucking companies are self-insured, or have insurance investigators planted in every major metropolitan area.  We know that trucking companies just don’t seem to understand or care how devastating a truck accident can be to the entire family.

When one of their trucks gets into an accident, the company is likely to have one of their own investigators at the scene within an hour.  While you’re still in the emergency room, they are out gathering evidence.  While you are recovering from your injuries, we can be at work for you. We conduct a full investigation, gather evidence, and determine all of the parties that may share legal liability for your injuries.

Truck accidents are often the result of negligence on the part of the industry companies that hire and train the drivers. In fact, we often represent hard-working truck drivers who were injured in accidents caused by irresponsible policies or willful misconduct on the part of their company management.

Truck operator errors include:

• Substance abuse, DUI
• Illegal lane changes
• Speeding, reckless driving
• Improper entry onto freeway
• Improper stops
• Following too closely
• Improper loading, hitching
• Improper truck maintenance
• Too many driving hours required
• Negligent hiring and supervision

To determine whether industry negligence was a contributing factor in your truck accident requires a thorough investigation by knowledgeable, experienced truck accident injury professionals.  Tabor Law is your partner in life changing cases like these and can be your advocate in protecting your future.  Don’t leave it to chance or assume someone else is looking out for your interests.
