Truck Drivers on Time Schedules Are a Menace
From long haulers to local delivery drivers, a truck driver in a hurry is a danger to other motorists and pedestrians. When accidents occur, our attorneys are skilled at showing that the truck driver threw caution out the window in order to meet a deadline or finish a route as fast as possible.
The Boise personal injury attorneys of Carty Houst have the experience and resources to pin liability squarely on truck drivers and the employers pressuring them to hurry. We have handled commercial vehicle accidents throughout Idaho.
Contact us for a free consultation if you or a family member got in the way of a truck driver on a time schedule. We welcome serious injury cases involving buses, UPS/FedEx trucks, pizza delivery cars, agricultural and logging trucks, 18-wheelers and other trucks.
Truck Accidents Caused by Hurried Drivers
Commercial drivers are accountable for accidents stemming from their haste:
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Running a stale red light
- Rolling stops at controlled intersections
- Backing up or pulling out without looking
- U-turns or other dangerous moves
- Shortcuts through alleys or private drives
- Failure to secure cargo
- Distracted driver (looking at GPS maps, talking to dispatchers on a cell phone or two-way radio)
- Time schedules, deliver-by guarantees or employer penalties for running late
As necessary, we have ready access to accident reconstruction specialists, human factors experts, efficiency engineers and others to prove fault. Our lawyers also have key insights from former work for the transportation industry and for insurance companies. We put the full resources of our firm into maximizing compensation for our clients.
