Commercial Trucking Accidents

Every year thousands of truck drivers and motorists are killed or severely injured due to the negligence of truck operators and the trucking companies themselves. These companies have a responsibility to operate their trucks in a safe and responsible manner. However, due to oversized loads, unsafe driving practices and other instances of neglect, these companies put not only their own drivers in danger, but also the traveling public. We at Herren & Adams want you to know that you have rights and we are here to protect them. With our experience we strive to get you the compensation that you deserve.

These large trucks, some weighing over 10,000 pounds, only represent 3% of the registered vehicles on the road in the United States. However, they are responsible for more than 25% of deaths in multiple vehicle accidents. Although many of these accidents occur due to reckless driving, inadequate driver training, and even mechanical failures, the main cause is driver fatigue. In approximately 30% of these crashes, driver fatigue results in a loss of life.

If you have been in an accident involving a big rig of any kind we are here to help. With our knowledge and experience we are committed to getting you the justice you deserve.
