St. Louis Trucking Accident Attorneys
Trucking accidents frequently cause catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. The size and speed of a semi tractor-trailer makes this almost inevitable. When this is combined with negligence or misconduct, victims may be entitled to compensation for injuries, lost income and other costs associated with the accident.

Researching the Cause of a Truck Accident
Our attorneys leave no stone unturned when investigating a truck accident, including the causes thereof, such as:
- Poor driver training
- Failure to properly maintain a truck
- Operating more hours than allowed by law
- Distractions from cell phone or radio
- Driving under the influence
- Travelling too fast for conditions
- Improperly maintained roadway and signage defects
We examine driver and maintenance logs, determine road conditions at the time of the accident, interview witnesses, and review trucking company training procedures. These actions and many others allow us to build strong cases for our clients. In addition to investigating the truck driver, which is often the obvious avenue, we look at all other possible contributing factors that could be a source of recovery, such as road defects, signage defects, and the response of emergency medical personnel.
