Logging Truck Accidents
Logging Trailer Accidents
Have you ever passed a logging truck on the highway and wondered how much destruction it could cause in an accident? Unfortunately, incidents involving logging trucks occur every year, and they are often just as catastrophic as you might expect.
Family Members May Be Entitled
Fatigued drivers, narrow roads, and overloaded or overly long trucks contribute to tragic logging truck accidents. Overloaded trucks cannot stop effectively, often resulting in high-speed crashes. Drivers following over-length logging trucks may not see unmarked tree trunks extending past the truck bed, leading to deadly rear-end collisions. Additionally, unsecured debris from these trucks can seriously injure motorcyclists and other motorists struck by sticks and branches.
Victims of logging truck accidents and their families may be entitled to damages and wrongful death benefits from various parties, including the trucking company, maintenance providers, contractors, and possibly the lumber company, depending on the circumstances of the case.
