Dangerous Highway Conditions Cause Fatal Truck Accidents.

Poor or careless driving causes many accidents, but it is not the only cause of semi truck accidents. Poorly designed and maintained highways are also dangerous. Roadside hazards, site obstructions, poorly marked construction zones, grade crossings, and pavement edge drops— these and other conditions can result in 18-wheeler accidents and catastrophic injuries or death.

At Arnold & Itkin LLP, knowledgeable accident scene investigators gather and review all aspects of highway condition and design. Our lawyers thoroughly investigate truck and motor vehicle accidents using knowledgeable consultants, road safety experts, and accident causation specialists. By building a strong case based on facts, we help victims of 18-wheeler truck accidents obtain compensation for their losses.
