Trucking is a booming business in the United States. There are over 4.2 million professional drivers. Over the last few years, there have been more and more laws passed to reduce the number of accidents caused or experienced by truck drivers. Truck companies in the Portland area have followed suit by providing extensive training as well as trying to raise driver awareness.
Trucks by their very nature can be dangerous because they often carry delicate or hazardous, like chemicals that can spill or ignite. In addition, the load can be a problem if it shifts while the truck is moving, thereby causing the truck's center of gravity to move. Sometimes mechanical failure or defects can cause the accident.
Very often, the person in the vehicle that the truck collides with is killed. You may have been the one who was injured, or you may have a family member who was injured. Maybe you were exposed to toxic chemicals as a result of a truck accident spill. Perhaps you are a truck driver who has been injured as a result of mechanical failure or poor servicing.
