Truck Accidents

Kansas City Truck Accident Lawyer

Missouri Personal Injury Attorney

Trucking companies are under ever increasing pressure to deliver freight cheaper and faster, especially with increasing fuel costs. As a result, it's no surprise that, according to statistics gathered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA), the most common causes of truck accidents are excessive speeding and driver fatigue.

At the Carter Law Offices, our lawyers work with accident investigators in exposing the causes of truck accidents that trace back to driver error and violations of safety policies. We compare a driver's log book with fuel receipts, weigh-station check points, and speedometer readings in order to create a timeline and determine if there is evidence of a driver having driven more consecutive hours than allowed under federal law. We also measure skid marks at the accident scene and analyze the placement of debris to determine if a truck driver was speeding.

Our attorneys understand how to investigate collisions and crashes involving 18 wheeler and tractor trailer wrecks. To schedule a free consultation and discuss your case, contact truck accident attorneys at the Carter Law Offices today.

Holding Trucking Companies and Their Drivers Accountable

Trucking companies train drivers in methods of avoiding liability for truck accidents. Additionally, their insurers often try and shift all, or a portion of the blame onto the other driver to reduce the amount of a claim. At Carter Law Offices, our attorneys are familiar with the tactics used by truck drivers - and their insurers - to reduce liability in truck accident cases. Using our own investigators, we expose driver negligence by interviewing witnesses, analyzing data from the on-board black box recorder, reviewing a driver's log, and reviewing other factors as well.

We can help you recover the cost of your medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. To schedule a free consultation, contact truck accident lawyers at the Carter Law Offices today.
