WRONGFUL DEATHS DUE TO TRUCKING ACCIDENTS ON THE RISE

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), fatalities from collisions involving large trucks have increased from 2010 to 2011. There are a number of factors that may be affecting the increase, i.e. increased traffic on our roadways, truck driver fatigue due to working more hours, increased pressure on companies to make deadlines quicker to stay competitive, poor maintenance to cut costs, etc. Crashes involving large trucks such as semi trucks and 18 wheelers can be especially catastrophic when a smaller vehicle is involved due to the difference in size of vehicles. 
 
Ohio is no exception to this trend. Commercial trucking is a big part of Ohio’s roadways as Ohio serves as a gateway between big industries such as Chicago and New York. Unfortunately, we have seen the devastation that is caused by accidents involving large commercial vehicles.
 
Ohio wrongful death claims involving commercial trucks require a higher degree of knowledge than other types of personal injury cases. An Ohio wrongful death lawyer needs to have an understanding of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s rules and regulations that regulate trucking companies, in addition to the many other laws and rules that apply specifically to Ohio wrongful death claims and trucking accidents. This is why it is important to not only  seek the services of an Ohio attorney who specializes in wrongful death cases in Ohio, but also trucking accidents.
