Tractor-Trailer Accidents Becoming More Frequent

Semi truck collisions are becoming more common in Iowa.  This week alone, nine people have been killed in wrecks involving tractor-trailers.  If you have been involved in a tractor-trailer accident, call a Des Moines accident lawyer to discuss your options before you pursue a claim against a large trucking company.

Many people will be involved in a common car accident in their lifetime, but if yours involved a tractor-trailer, it was more than likely worse than usual. Because semis are commercial vehicles, their drivers are held to higher standards than the average person in a common car accident in Iowa.

For example, truck drivers are banned from texting while driving and are limited in the number of hours they can drive.  A Des Moines accident lawyer will know how to prove a driver was texting or that they were over hours on their log book.

Speeding and driver distraction are the two major causes of semi accidents as well as ordinary car accidents in Iowa. Commercial trucking companies make their money by delivering their goods fast and truck drivers often fall victim to speeding to deliver their shipments quicker.

A Des Moines accident lawyer is knowledgeable in causes of truck and car accidents as well as trucking rules and regulations in Iowa. Your lawyer can help you recover any lost income and repair damaged property after an accident involving a tractor-trailer in Iowa.

Car accidents involving semis are usually serious and it pays to know the law, or have a Des Moines car accident lawyer on your side who does. The Des Moines injury attorney team at Walker, Billingsley & Bair work hard to level the field between injured Iowans and insurance companies.
