Who or What Caused the Truck Crash?
There were almost 14,000 truck accidents in New York state in 2007, according to the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, resulting in 128 fatalities and more than 5,000 people injured.
It is usually the occupants of the non-truck vehicle who suffer the most from the impact. Paul Ajlouny & Associates are here to help victims and their families recover compensation, by filing claims to hold trucking companies accountable for the devastating injuries caused by their negligence. Our skilled attorneys have handled thousands of personal injury cases in NYC and Long Island.
We retain professional investigators to interview witnesses and preserve evidence about why the truck accident occurred, including:
- Truck driver fatigue (violating DOT limits on driving without rest)
- Trucker inattention or distraction
- Improper lane changes
- Speeding or running traffic lights
- Following too close
- Overweight loads, unsecured cargo or neglected maintenance
- Negligent hiring and training of drivers
