Wichita Truck Accident Lawyer
Kansas Trucking Accident Attorney
In accidents involving a commercial truck and a passenger car, the passenger car usually sustains horrific damage, while its occupants suffer either catastrophic or fatal injuries. Recognizing this danger, the federal government enacted significant safety regulations covering the entire trucking industry. The costs associated with meeting these regulations (while minimal compared to the costs you face after a truck accident) often cuts into the profits of both truck drivers and trucking companies.
When truck drivers or trucking companies make the conscious decision to place profits over safety, they may be held liable for injuring innocent motorists along Kansas roadways.
Truck accident investigations are generally more complex than car accident investigations due to the severity of the damage.

Some of the most technical questions in any truck accident case involve whether a truck driver or trucking company adhered to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations. In fact, if a party violated one of these regulations intentionally, they may be liable for punitive damages.
Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Unqualified truck drivers
- Improperly maintained trucks
- Physical and mental conditions of drivers
- Negligent trucking companies
Since the federal government regulates the trucking industry so heavily, trucking accident cases frequently involve extensive investigations and experts. Our firm understands the technical nature of these cases and, if necessary, will employ a team of experts to assist us in preparing and developing your claim.
The trucking companies must ensure that the trucks used and the drivers employed will not place innocent motorists in peril.
