Rhode Island Truck Accident Lawyer

Some of the most devastating automobile accidents involve 18-wheel tractor-trailer trucks. They are often travelling at high speeds on the interstate expressways, and their size and weight alone can turn even a low-speed collision into a life-altering catastrophe.

For these and other reasons, commercial truck drivers are required to have a special operator's license and trucking companies are held to strict safety standards on the road. Commercial drivers are restricted in the number of hours they can drive each day, and they must be given adequate breaks to prevent driver fatigue. Freight must be properly loaded and secured, and equipment must be thoroughly maintained and routinely inspected to ensure the safety of others on the road.

Unfortunately, trucking accidents do happen, sometimes as a result of simple driver error, and sometimes due to pervasive negligence on the part of an employer.

If you or someone you care about has been involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle, or if you have lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident, you need experienced representation that can take on the at-fault party, or parties, aggressively with a focus on obtaining maximum compensation for your injuries and damages.
