NY Truck Accident Lawyers
Drug use and sleep deprivation were the causes in more than half of the motor vehicle accidents involving trucks in New York State last year. Illegal maneuvers, aggressive behavior, speed, inadequate evasive action and distraction make up the other fifty percent of truck accidents. In fact, more than half of the more than 150,000 accidents last year involving cars and trucks were the fault of the truck driver.
The deadly facts:
One out of eight traffic fatalities is caused by a collision with a large truck.
• Nearly 80 percent of all large truck accidents involve more than one vehicle other than the truck.
Last year, trucks accounted for more than 100,000 accidents, 23,000 injuries and more than 4000 fatalities in the USA.
Truck accidents often involve drivers with out-of-state licenses, multiple insurance policies and companies cutting corners on tires, safety inspection and weight limits -- putting profits before public safety.
