Semi Truck Accidents

St. George Truck Accident Attorney

Every 16 minutes someone is injured or killed in a U.S. truck accident. Nearly 13 percent of traffic-related deaths and 4 percent of automobile accidents with injuries involve tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, semi-trucks and big rigs.Trucking-related accidents are usually attributed to a variety of factors, including driver error, stress and fatigue, intoxication or substandard brakes and tires. All those causes point out carelessness on the part of the 18-wheeler driver or trucking company. Those individuals and their loved ones are left to face a life-changing catastrophe, while the trucker typically escapes with mild injuries. Our law firm in St. George, Utah does not only work on cases involving car accidents in St. George, we will work to make those responsible for the semi-truck accident accountable for their negligent and/or dangerous driving.Trucks are larger and heavier than other vehicles on the road, which explains why 77 percent of those injured and 86 percent of individuals killed in large truck crashes are the drivers or passengers of smaller sized automobiles, including cars, SUVs and motorcycles.McMullin Injury Law, PLLC has the legal experience you will need in order to defend your rights and interests in tractor-trailer accidents.
