TRUCKING INDUSTRY CREATES PERILOUS CONDITIONS WHEN PROFITS COME BEFORE SAFETY

Wolf Edlund, P.C.  represent victims and their families who have been catastrophically injured or killed by a Semi-truck collision.


Big 18-Wheeler Tractor Trailer Rigs can be found in increasing numbers on every highway in the United States. When transportation companies decide to put profits ahead of safety, these rigs pose huge risks to e and can be deadly.


Each year, Semi-trucks account for a significant number of highway deaths and other catastrophic injuries. Commercial trucking companies are required to follow strict federal rules to increase safety and drivers are required to have special training.


Why Does this Happen?

 

To make a quick profit and lower costs,

  • Trucks are not regularly inspected
  • Driver sleep logs get falsified
  • Driver background checks do not get done or are ignored
  • Distracted Driver – Texting, intoxication


You can see why big rigs cause so much death and destruction.
