The job of a New York truck accident lawyer is to recover financial compensation for seriously injured victims of crashes with large trucks. Large trucks don't just look deadly -- they are, causing one out of every eight fatal accidents in the United States. In the state of New York, 17% of truck accidents ended in a death in 2005, but only 2.8% ended in a serious injury. In a clash between a passenger vehicle and a large truck, their unequal sizes mean the car and anyone in it will almost certainly be crushed under the truck's huge weight. If you or someone you love was hurt in a truck accident caused by someone else's irresponsibility, you should contact a New York truck accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Benefits of a New York Truck Accident Lawyer

New York truck accident lawyers understand the many ways in which truckers and trucking companies place profits over safety. For example, a 2005 study by the National Transportation Safety Board found "systemic deficiencies" with large truck brakes, with unsafe brakes on 46% of randomly inspected trucks. Other studies have found consistent problems with tire inflation, which can cause a blowout or rollover on a busy highway. These problems are easily preventable, but New York truck accident lawyers know that trucking companies are more concerned about profits than safety; that's also why they often encourage truckers to lie about rest breaks. A New York truck accident lawyer can help victims uncover these illegal practices and hold irresponsible people liable for their actions. A New York truck accident lawyer could win you money to pay funeral bills and other costs caused by the accident, as well as compensation for your serious injuries, wrongful death and pain and suffering.
