Truck Accidents

A truck accident is an accident which involves a truck colliding with another vehicle or pedestrian. One out of every eight traffic fatalities is the result of a truck accident. Truck accidents commonly involve the following factors:

• Speeding
• Failure to observe right of way
• Reversing
• Unsafe maneuvering
• Truck rollover
• Insufficient vehicle repair and maintenance
• Brake or mechanical failure
• Tire blowout
• Overloaded truck
• Loads shifting weight
• Driver fatigue
• Driving under the influence (DUI)

Due to the tremendous size of trucks, these accidents often result in catastrophic or fatal injuries. Usually the resulting injuries are much more severe for the occupants of the other vehicle involved than for the truck driver. If you or someone you love has been the victim of a truck accident, a Kingman personal injury lawyer should be contacted immediately for legal representation and to help you in this difficult time.

You Deserve Compensation

At Phillips & Lyon, we frequently observe the terrible effects a truck accident has on a person's life. Physical injury, emotional effects, medical bills and lost income are all part of the struggle of a truck accident victim. In the worst cases, catastrophic injuries destroy the lives of the victims and their families, or a death leaves the surviving family devastated.

Due to factors involved in the trucking industry, truck accidents are all too frequent. The demanding schedules, tight deadlines and long hours involved mean that driver fatigue is a very common problem. Even if a driver doesn't actually fall asleep at the wheel, fatigue leaves the driver with severely impaired judgment. This includes the inability to correctly estimate the extent of their fatigue and the effect this has on their driving. This situation invites catastrophe. No one deserves to be the victim of a truck accident and anyone who has experienced such an event deserves all the help and compensation available. Our legal team has an impressive record in successfully recovering high value settlements in truck accident injury cases.
