How can an Experienced Las Vegas Truck Accident Attorney help?
Driver Negligence is the #1 cause of trucking accidents, and is a main cause of these big rig crashes. Truck accidents can be avoided. Drivers have to limit their driving to only 10 hours a day. Truck drivers should have proper licensing for these types of vehicles, and need to be properly qualified to operate a truck safely. Truck accidents can be avoided also by the necessary repair and maintenance on the truck itself. Truck drivers need to maintain logs of all servicing and make sure the truck is not overloaded with extra weight.
