Head-on Collisions Lawsuit Claims Lawyer
One of the deadliest types of vehicle accidents that can occur is a head-on collision with a large commercial truck. Even at slower speeds, the sheer weight of 10,000-80,000 pounds can crush passenger vehicles and their occupants. Many truck head-on collisions are fatalities, taking away someone’s life and leaving behind grief for their loved ones. If you have lost a family member in a deadly head-on truck collision, you deserve to know your options to seek restitution for your loss.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association or FMCSA reports details of all truck crash statistics. Since 1975, the FMSCA has reported over 4,000 fatalities almost every year that occur in large truck and bus accidents. In 2016, there were over 100,000 injuries in truck accidents, many of these serious and life-altering. When a serious injury or fatality is caused by a large truck, it is heartbreaking. There is nothing that can undo the damage, but it is important that the victims receive the compensation they need to recover.
Complexities of Fatality Truck Accidents
Head-on collisions involving large trucks represent some of the most devastating accidents on the road, often resulting in fatalities for occupants of smaller vehicles. Unlike typical injury vehicle accidents, these collisions present complex legal and investigative challenges that demand meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive analysis. When lives are lost, the stakes are exceptionally high, requiring a thorough examination of various factors to determine fault and liability for the tragic outcome.
In navigating the aftermath of a head-on collision with a large truck, several critical considerations come into play, including:
- Collision Dynamics: Understanding the physics and mechanics underlying head-on collisions to ascertain the sequence of events and contributing factors.
- Driver Actions and Behavior: Scrutinizing the actions and behaviors of both the truck driver and other motorists leading up to the collision, including adherence to traffic laws and regulations.
- Vehicle Maintenance and Inspection: Assessing the maintenance history and roadworthiness of the truck involved, including brake systems, tire condition and compliance with safety standards.
- Road Conditions and Environmental Factors: Evaluating road conditions, visibility, weather conditions and other environmental factors that may have influenced the collision.
- Driver Fatigue or Distraction: Investigating the role of driver fatigue, distraction, impairment or other forms of negligence that could have contributed to the accident.
- Employer Liability: Examining the trucking company’s hiring practices, training protocols, and compliance with federal regulations governing the trucking industry.
- Criminal Implications: Assessing potential criminal charges or regulatory violations that the truck driver may face, including the risk of license suspension or incarceration.
