• When you are heading down the roadway and see a
  large commercial truck, you probably do your best
  to stay well away from it. However, that is not
  always possible, and you should never have to
  worry about the negligence of a truck driver or
  company causing you harm.

• Attorneys from Paulozzi LPA are bringing you a
  case from a little bit out of their coverage area
  to highlight one of the many causes of truck
  accidents in Ohio. On July 10, a commercial
  semi-truck with an illegal trailer struck the
  underside of a bridge that was under
  construction. As a result of the impact,
  construction materials were dislodged from the
  bridge and struck a passenger car directly behind
  the truck.

When you look at commercial truck crashes that
cause injuries and fatalities, they often find
that they are caused by driver negligence or
truck failure. Driver negligent can take the form
of

• Failing to follow state and federal laws
  regulating truck drivers, such as how long they
  can drive in between breaks, trailer weight, and
  trailer height.
• Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
• Driving while distracted by phones or other
  devices

In many cases, these crashes occur due to vehicle
failure of one or more of the following systems

• Tires and wheels
• Suspension
• Lighting
• Brakes
• Powertrain
• Steering

• Injuries from truck accidents can be severe, and
  victims often end up with massive medical bills
  and other hidden costs such as lost income,
  emotional and psychological damages, and even
  long-term care if they are disabled. Victims and
  their families should not be put into financial
  jeopardy due to another persons mistakes.
