All vehicle accidents are governed by the laws of negligence. Regardless of whether a person is operating a car, truck, boat, ATV, airplane, or motorcycle, he or she is required by law to drive with reasonable care.

Truck Accidents
Washington D.C. / Maryland area truck accident lawyer Walter E. Laake, Jr. knows that semis and tractor-trailers are not designed with safety in mind, nor are they built for performance and handling. Large trucks and 18-wheelers are designed to transport as much cargo as possible to minimize shipping costs. These vehicles, with their heavy, sometimes awkwardly distributed loads, sleep deprived drivers, and large blind spots, present dangers that passenger cars do not.

Companies who require their drivers to operate longer hours than allowed under the law, or who improperly load cargo can be held accountable in truck accident cases.
