Negligence, Inattention, Unsafe Equipment
Delivery truck accidents often involve a large vehicle crashing into a much smaller car or SUV. The injuries are usually serious. The injured, and in the most tragic cases, surviving family members, will require significant help for their injuries and losses.
Delivery Truck Accidents
In a delivery truck accident, it is important to investigate what happened as quickly as possible. At Gray Ritter Graham in St. Louis, our personal injury attorneys have the resources and the commitment to begin an immediate investigation when you request our help.
- Delivery truck drivers have deadlines to meet. Deadline pressures may cause the driver to take chances while driving from one delivery to another.
- Delivery truck drivers can be distracted by messages from the dispatch center. In too many cases, drivers are also distracted by personal cell phones and text messages.
- Hiring and training may be the root cause of a delivery truck accident. Are the company's hiring and training policies adequate? Do they regularly check for drug and alcohol use?
- Our lawyers and investigators check maintenance logs to determine if a delivery truck that caused an accident has been appropriately maintained.
By knowing all causes of an accident, we are able to seek full and fair recovery for our clients.
Early investigation can yield a great deal of information about a delivery truck accident — the condition of the truck, the weather and road conditions, skid marks, and witness accounts. GRG lawyers have investigators who get to an accident scene right away.
