Missouri truck accidents, because of their size and weight, often cause very serious personal injury when they strike another vehicle. On average, there are 500,000 semi truck crashes annually. Of these truck crashes, 5,000 people will die and 94,000 people will suffer from serious personal injury.

Because of the dangers tractor trailer crashes pose, the federal government has enacted numerous rules and regulations to make sure tractor trailer companies and their operators maintain and drive them safely. These rules are called the Federal Motor Carrier Regulations. Missouri has largely adopted most of these regulations.

Unfortunately, some employers often encourage truck drivers to break these rules, pushing to get large loads to their destination as fast as possible. Missouri truck lawsuits often premise employer liability on the basis it permitted and in some cases even encouraged operators to break these rules. Missouri personal injury lawsuits have revealed employers routinely encourage operators to break the rules by operating the tractor trailer while fatigued, operating the tractor trailer in excess of the number of hours permitted by law, overloading the tractor trailer with more weight than is safe, operating the unit with improper maintenance or improper equipment, or allowing the driver to operate the tractor trailer with inadequate or improper training. In these cases, Missouri courts usually allow personal injury victims to recover punitive damages against these employers.

At the Bradley Law Firm, we hold truck drivers and their employers responsible for their carelessness and/or willful disregard for the safety of other Missouri drivers. Tractor trailer crashes are very different from ordinary car crash cases. These personal injury lawsuits require expertise and immediate action in order to preserve evidence. Large truck companies are only required to preserve evidence for a short period of time. After that period has expired, this information can be lost forever. As such, time is of the essence in truck crash. Your Missouri truck crash lawyer should immediately take actions to preserve this evidence and investigate your truck crash claim and potential truck crash lawsuit. Do not delay in contacting a personal injury lawyer who handles Missouri truck accident lawsuits.

Truck accidents are not limited to tractor trailers. Many truck accidents involve school bus accidents, garbage truck accidents, delivery truck accidents, tour bus crashes, medical transport vehicles, dump truck crashes, construction vehicle crashes, and ambulance crashes. Many of these trucks are manufactured by Freightliner, International, Kenworth, Mercedes Benz, and Mack.
