Media Truck Accident Attorney

Semi Truck Accidents in Media, PA

Most of us get nervous when a large truck is near us on the highway and with good reason. We instinctively know that, aside from its obvious size advantage, a semi truck is heavier, sturdier, and would probably devastate whatever vehicle we're driving if there was a collision. Most truck drivers are professionals who take their responsibilities very seriously and understand the damage their vehicles can do to other vehicles on the road. However, not all truck drivers exercise the same care when they drive at excessive speeds, text and talk on their phones while driving and engage in other negligent behavior that puts others at risk for serious injury and death. Since 1977, the Media truck accident attorneys at Anapol Schwartz have successfully represented clients who have been injured and killed in accidents caused by negligent truck drivers and trucking companies. If you would like to speak with one of our lawyers about your PA truck accident lawsuit, call us today to schedule a consultation.

Truck Accidents Take a Deadly Toll on Drivers and Passengers

Truck accidents claimed the lives of more than 4,000 people in the U.S. in 2008. Pennsylvania truck accidents killed 195 people that year and injured thousands more, many of them very seriously. The very nature of a vehicle weighing up to 80,000 pounds sharing the road with vehicles weighing 5,000 pounds or less is dangerous. Sometimes negligence such as the types listed below greatly enhances this danger:

• Poorly maintained trucks
• Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks
• Fatigued drivers driving without the legal amount of rest
• Aggressive driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Inexperienced drivers
• Trucking companies who coerce drivers to drive without rest
• Reckless drivers with a history of accidents
• Speeding and not driving appropriately for road conditions
• Other kinds of negligence
