Experienced Truck Accident Lawyers In Reading
Collisions with freight trucks and tractor-trailers cause a large number of traffic fatalities in America and in Reading. For over thirty years, truck accident attorneys at The Brod Law Firm have been committed to ensuring that our clients receive maximum compensation in these cases. Because drivers of these trucks are under pressure to reach their destination, they often drive when exhausted. This fatigue, coupled with the size and mass of the vehicles, accounts for the large number of serious injuries and fatalities tractor-trailers cause.
Although recent legislation has attempted to prevent overly exhausted drivers from getting behind the wheel of tractor-trailers, injuries and fatalities continue to occur nationally and locally in Reading. Car accident lawyers at The Brod Law Firm are retained in many cases involving tractor-trailers each year. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were an estimated 273,000 accidents involved trucks weighing over 10,000 pounds in 2011. Out of these, an estimated 60,000 resulted in an injury, and 3,341 proved to be fatal. Because of the size of tractor-trailers, truck drivers often receive minor injuries compared to the major injuries and fatalities of passengers in smaller vehicles, and our Reading car accident attorneys want to ensure that the victims of these accidents are fully compensated for these injuries.
At The Brod Law Firm in Reading, car accident lawyers successfully litigate these truck accident collision cases each year resulting in sizable personal injury awards for our clients. Contact the Brod Law Firm today to speak to an expert Pennsylvania car accident lawyer.
