A Pennsylvania truck accident lawyer's job is to protect the interests of the victims of serious crashes with large trucks, also known as semis, 18-wheelers or tractor-trailers. Large trucks are an important part of our economy, but Pennsylvania truck accident lawyers know that trucks' huge size guarantees that they remain a serious threat to other motorists. Pennsylvania saw 192 truck accidents in 2005; 14.6% of those caused a death and 10.9% caused a serious injury. Nationwide, large trucks were involved in one out of every eight traffic fatalities in 2005 -- and only a small minority, 15%, were the death of the truck driver. If you or someone you love has been hurt by a negligent truck driver, you should speak with a Pennsylvania truck accident lawyer immediately.

Why You Should Consider a Pennsylvania Truck Accident Lawyer

Federal and state laws strictly regulate the trucking industry, but Pennsylvania truck accident lawyers know that many of these laws are routinely ignored. For example, a 2006 study by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that speeding by truckers caused 10% of truck crashes nationwide. Another study by the National Transportation Safety Board found driver fatigue was a factor in as many as 40 percent of all truck accidents. In short, the statistical evidence shows that truck drivers are often undertrained, overtired and using defective equipment. Pennsylvania truck accident lawyers know all of this and can use it to help you win the financial compensation you deserve.
