Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Truck Accident Lawyers
When a semi truck, 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer collides with a car on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, there are going to be serious, often fatal, consequences.
Pennsylvania is a trucking thoroughfare and the treacherous rollercoaster of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Route 76); the winding, traffic-congested Schuylkill Expressway; and Routes 80 and 81 are sites of many fatal car-truck accidents.
Heavy trucking traffic congestion, high speeds, poor maintenance leading to brake failure under a heavy load on steep descents, bad packing that allows a load to shift on sharp turns, inadequate inspection that doesn’t catch wheel problems or tread separation — these are all potent contributors to truck accident fatalities. Driver error, truck driver fatigue, and a seeming "king-of-the-road" truck driver mentality all contribute to accidents with serious injuries.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a semi tractor trailer wreck, you need legal representation from a Pennsylvania truck accident lawyer who really knows personal injury law and has experience handling these often complex cases. Contact the Philadelphia Pennsylvania truck accident lawyers at the Law Offices of John E. Kusturiss, Jr., for a free initial consultation.
The commercial trucking industry operates under heavy state and federal regulation. You need an experienced attorney who understands these laws and who knows how to investigate the scene of a truck accident. In commercial trucking wrecks, it’s more than the truck driver who is responsible: it’s also the truck company, and possibly the owners or the cargo that has contracted with the driver or trucking company. There may be many companies that share in the responsibility for the accident — and that share in the financial liability. A good lawyer will thoroughly investigate all avenues for financial recovery.
