- Frequently Asked Questions
A semi-truck accident can cause serious injuries and wrongful death. Every 16 minutes a person is seriously injured or killed in accidents involving large trucks including 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers or semi-trucks. A Minnesota semi-truck accident lawyer can help you or a family member that has been the victim of a trucking accident or died as a result of injuries caused by the negligence of a truck driver.
Unlike car accidents, collisions involving semi trucks frequently can cause life-threatening injuries. It is important to preserve evidence as soon as possible after an accident caused by a tractor trailer or other large truck. The trucking company will have representative and attorneys working to protect their interest and you need an advocate to help investigate your case and protect your and your family’s legal rights.
Frequent causes of semi truck accidents:
• Brake problems
• Truck driver fatigue
• Improper securing loads
• Overloading truck
• Speeding
• Truck driver alcohol or drug use
