Trucking Accidents

Due to the many regulations that truck drivers and their companies must follow, semi-truck accidents are more complex than other motor vehicle accidents. The team at Eng & Woods Attorneys at Law can provide in-depth knowledge on the changing landscape of semi-truck rules.

We bring a century of combined experience and an authoritative litigation approach to every semi-truck case to help you obtain the money you need. Review some of the most common types of cases we see here.

Truck Driver Fatigue

Truck drivers have set limits on how many hours they can spend on the road daily. When they ignore these limits, they risk increased drowsiness while driving, which can lead to truck driver fatigue accidents. 

A capable lawyer from our team can help identify evidence of driver fatigue and recover fair compensation for your accident.

Learn more about how driver fatigue causes truck crashes.

Excessive Weight Accidents

Every truck must meet certain weight guidelines, as improperly loaded or overweight trucks pose significant dangers. Sudden stops or turns for overloaded trucks can quickly cause an 18-wheeler accident. We hold negligent drivers accountable for these errors when they cause suffering from a weight-related accident.

Find out why excessive semi-truck load weight is so dangerous for everyone on the road.

Defective Tire Accidents

If your tires blow out on the road or are defective in any way, it’s critical to contact an auto accident attorney immediately. At Eng & Woods, we closely review for fabrication-related defects and hold negligent manufacturers accountable for the catastrophic effects of their faulty products.

Defective or Damaged Roadway Accidents

In some cases, various road hazards may have contributed to your auto or semi-truck accident, including the following:

  • Unmarked construction zones
  • Poorly maintained roads
  • Improper signage
  • Inadequate lighting

These hazards make it difficult to slow down and navigate the road ahead safely. In the case of an accident caused by an unforeseeable road hazard, we hold local governments accountable and will do everything we can to get you the compensation you deserve.
