The good side is that when you want to move cargo from point A to point B, nothing does it like big rigs. Tractor-trailers are an important part of our distribution and supply chain and vital to the "just in time" philosophy that manufacturers employ to help keep costs down and transport goods across our nation.

The bad side is that the trucking industry doesn’t really have enough drivers to move everything safely. Statistics indicate that a big rig is involved in one out of every eight traffic fatalities in the U.S. The Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has set standards regarding how many consecutive hours semi drivers may drive, but there is pressure to get loads to their destinations on time. So drivers often push on, even though driver fatigue has set in. Many drivers have admitted falling asleep behind the wheel trying to make a deadline.

If an accident involving a tractor-trailer has left you injured or has injured or killed a loved one, you may have recourse. Many truckers are employed through large corporations. There’s no question that they will bring experienced lawyers to their side of the table to negotiate a settlement. Don’t you want the same team of professionals on your side?
