Construction Truck Accident Lawyer

Construction trucks make up a large portion of vehicles on the road. Dump truck accidents are the most common form of construction vehicle accidents. A dump truck is commonly used to transport sand, soil, dirt, asphalt, or gravel.

Driving a dump truck requires extensive training and experience. Often drivers are not properly trained on how to operate these large, heavy vehicles, which can result in an accident. In addition to lack of training, dump truck drivers are often paid more for carrying heavy loads but may not have the experience to safely handle the load.

The more weight drivers carry, the more money they make. Due to this, drivers sometimes overload their truck. Overloading a truck can make it difficult to stop and, in some cases, releases dangerous material that can impose danger and hit other vehicles. In addition to these hazards, drivers are often overworked and drive recklessly. If you or a family member are suffering from a construction truck accident, lawyers at the Duncan Firm are experienced and here to help you.
