Truck and car accidents caused by fatigued drivers are no accident.  When a truck driver gets onto the highway in an exhausted state, he or she is significantly more likely to crash. Last week, we read that a TV star, Tracy Morgan, was gravely injured when his van was rearended by a fatigued truck driver.  One [...]

Truck and car accidents that result in personal injury to pedestrians are a source of severe fractures, brain injury and wrongful death in Ohio.  Commonly, these injuries occur at or near a crosswalk in a busy intersection.  Another type of case is the so-called "dart out" where a young child thoughtlessly dashes into the street during play.  Less common, [...]

We handle truck and car accidents in Ohio.  In doing so, we have to be familiar with the insurance limits available for clients who sustain a personal injury as a result of a collision with a semi tractor-trailer rig.  These motor vehicle accidents often involve big damages because of factors involving speed and disparate weight [...]

A New Study Re: Truck Accidents Due to Fatigue

Truck accidents are too common and often deadly.  A fully loaded semi tractor-trailer rig can weigh over 50 tons.  A passenger vehicle weighing a ton or less is no match for these goliaths of the highway.  Demanding employers frequently push trucking company employees and independent contractors alike to put in long hours on the road.  Naturally, [...]

I just read an interesting article called Small Trucks, Big Regulations published by a very smart lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia, Joseph Fried.  Fried pointed out that in some circumstances, pickup trucks and other small frame trucks may be subject to the same regulations that apply to semi tractor trailer rigs.  We are familiar with the federal regulatory [...]
