Truck Accident Attorneys in Niagara Falls, New York

Commercial truck accidents are becoming more and more frequent as companies and governmental agencies deploy workers in their own vehicles or in company vehicles for delivery services, repair and maintenance services, personal care services at outside locations or transportation of goods. Sometimes, large fleets of vehicles such as UPS, FedEx and DHL or other carrier services are operating double- length (tandem) trucks on the roadways. Because these trucks are larger and heavier than cars, serious injuries often result when a crash occurs.

These commercial truck operators are held to a higher standard of care since an enhanced license is required to operate these vehicles on the roadways. Common negligent commercial driving errors consist of excessive speed, poor truck maintenance, distracted driving, failure to look for pedestrians, inattention when backing up, turning or changing lanes, not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot, not setting the parking brake, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, failure to obey traffic control devices, improper speed, texting or other driver inattention.
