Dump Truck Accident Lawyer
There are many kinds of truck accidents: rear end collisions, head on collisions, and sideswiped, broadsided or t-boned by a semi or commercial truck. The most common cause of truck accidents is negligence. Negligence comes in many forms. It may be due to inattentive driving, driving while fatigued, disregarding weather conditions or disobeying traffic laws to name a few.
In recent years, the Pritzker Olsen law firm has collected more than $14,000,000 on behalf of truck accident victims. Four of those recoveries were multi-million dollar awards and three other clients recovered more than a million each for their truck accident injuries.

If a truck driver violates a traffic law, most states consider this violation prima facie evidence of negligence. Prima facie literally means “at first sight” and when applied to personal injury cases it means that the violation will constitute a negligent act if there is no evidence of justification. If there is sufficient evidence of justification, the facts will be weighed when determining whether there was negligence.
Commercial truck drivers are held to a higher standard and they have more laws to follow than other drivers due to the state and federal regulations that govern commercial transportation. The regulations deal with the number of hours a semi driver can drive, the weight of the load, the size of the vehicle as well as other aspects of commercial transportation.
