Ottawa Truck Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents involving large transportation trucks and delivery vehicles are common and frequently result in very serious injuries. The size of the vehicles alone makes truck accident cases particularly lethal.
Most truck accidents occur on highways and at higher speeds. As with other types of vehicles, the causes of serious truck accidents include truck driver fatigue, distracted driving and mechanical issues. Serious truck accidents can involve complex investigations of the trucking company, the concerned parties, and the engineering evidence. Most trucking companies as a result now equip their commercial transport trucks with recorders (“black boxes”) that provide evidence about what the truck drivers were doing and how the vehicle was responding just before the collision.
Also, truck accident claims can be more complex because, although the trucks are on Ontario roads, they are registered in other Provinces or in the United States. It is important in these cases to hire a lawyer who is experienced in dealing with complex claims arising from trucking accidents.
