Car & Truck Accident News

With few rights and protections under state laws and with shippers and suppliers of goods offering hauling contracts to the lowest bid, non-union truckers across the country are facing hard times. As they work longer hours for less pay and disregard safety in order to earn a living wage, truck drivers are also putting the physical safety of themselves and other drivers on the road at risk. The Seattle Times reports on the specific struggles of log haulers in the Northwest, and their struggle to gain better pay and benefits from the belt tightening tactics of big business. – Seattle Times

Car Accident Attorney for Ohio

According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, nearly 100 Ohioans die every month in motor vehicle accidents, and an average of 1000 a month suffer serious and incapacitating injuries that require long-term medical care and protracted periods of recovery. Obviously, serious injuries suffered in car accidents can also cripple the victim’s ability to earn a living, care for themselves, and support their spouses and children. This is why we buy car insurance.

Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t always prove to be as good as their word. In many cases, insurance companies in Ohio will conduct investigations into car accident claims that are designed solely to reduce their liability in car accidents. When the insurance companies succeed in these efforts, car accident injury victims can be exposed to years of economic hardship, inadequate healthcare and a greatly diminished quality of life.

In the aftermath of a vehicle accident involving injuries to the driver or passengers of an automobile, hiring an experienced attorney is critical to helping you make the best of a bad situation. On average, those who seek an attorney’s help in settling their auto accident injury claims with insurance companies receive 2 to 3 times more than those who don’t. Statistics prove that your insurance company will take your claim more seriously when you have an attorney investigating your case. But just how seriously they will take you depends on the specific attorney you hire.

Truck Accident Injury Representation in Ohio: Toledo, Sylvania, Bowling Green

Motor vehicle accidents involving common carriers may have a set of rules that are slightly different than what would apply in a motor vehicle accident case. Common carriers, such as trucks, buses, and other large multi-passenger vehicles, are frequently held to a very high degree of care. As such, if there is even slight negligence on their part that contributes to the injury of one of their passengers, then the common carrier may be liable. For instance, in many truck accident cases, truck drivers have often been found to be in no condition to drive, suffering from sleep deprivation, abusing drugs or alcohol, or distracted by CBs, on-board communications systems – or even television.

In standard passenger vehicle accidents, the most prominent examples of negligent driving include drunken driving and reckless behavior behind the wheel. But negligent driving can also include any actions that show little or no regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic and other conditions of streets, highways, roads, or other routes used for vehicular traffic.
