Maryland Truck Accident Lawyer
Construction vehicles, trucks, semi trucks, delivery vans, garbage trucks, moving vans and other commercial vehicles can cause catastrophic accidents with serious injuries.
When a commercial vehicle causes a collision, it is important to identify all of the entities that caused the accident and that may be liable. The Carey Law Offices, LLC pursues claims against the truck owner, the general contractor who hired the construction vehicle owner and the driver.
We will determine whether the construction accident was caused by driver inattention, lack of markings or warnings, failure to use flag men, violation of federal regulations or failure to obey traffic signals.
Commercial-vehicle accidents require an experienced attorney because the severe injuries caused by truck accidents lead to high medical expenses, permanent lost wages and extended rehabilitation. In addition, these cases are complex. For example, a tractor cab and a tractor trailer could be owned by different companies. Liability also may depend on the type of cargo being hauled and licensing requirements.
Joseph Carey has represented victims of trucking accidents. He is a member of the Association of Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America and knows the Maryland and federal trucking laws. If you or someone you love has been injured in a truck accident, you need an attorney like Joseph Carey because he knows about special trucking issues that could be important to your case and could affect how much you are compensated. Some factors that could apply in a trucking accident case are:
- the log books, which show how many hours the driver was on the road, sleep time in relation to drive time and what the driver was hauling
- the driver’s driving history and employment information
- the vehicle’s maintenance records
- witnesses’ statements
- the load’s security or weight
- the truck size, load requirements and route designations
- adverse driving conditions
- insurance information
- the driver’s training and license
Violations of these regulations could cause serious injuries. A driver who fails to follow state and federal laws will place your family in jeopardy. If you were hurt in a truck collision, contact Joseph Carey. If necessary, he will bring in experts qualified in accident reconstruction and trucking maintenance.
