Factors That Contribute to Truck Accidents

A wide range of factors can lead to a truck accident, but some of the most common causes include:

Fatigued driving
Distracted driving
Improper maintenance
Inadequately secured cargo
Faulty truck parts
Unqualified drivers
Speeding to meet a delivery deadline
Overloaded cargo
Driving under the influence

Responsible Parties in Truck Accidents

In many cases, the driver may not be the only person responsible for a truck accident; the trucking company may be liable as well. For example, if the company cuts corners on routine maintenance or if they forced the driver to meet an unrealistic deadline, you can pursue damages from the trucking company in addition to the driver.

"Professionalism at it’s finest!"
Working with both Paul Hernandez and Colin O’Dawe during my case was a smooth and easy process. Their attention to detail and combined knowledge enabled us to achieve a successful and winning outcome. Both Paul and Colin are true professionals with a high level of customer service. The entire practice provides seamless and transparent communication. While also building a strong partnership at the same time. I would highly recommend the practice of Kalfus and Nachman.

"Down to earth. No BS."
What a weird time for all of this to happen. I'm grateful for the down to earth, no BS, approach to my case. Though we had to draw it out due to the pandemic and the idiocy of the military medical system, the K&N staff stuck with me and always treated me with kindness and respect. The ladies at the front are the sweet angels that make you miss your grandma. They deserve all the love!!
