Missouri Van and Commercial Truck Accident Attorneys for Delivery Truck Accidents
At the St. Louis area law firm of WARD | HOLLINGSHEAD, we represent people who have been involved in accidents involving commercial vehicles or delivery trucks. Using years of experience and knowledge of the truck industry, we thoroughly investigate these accidents to determine liability for injuries caused.
Our law firm handles cases involving many different types of commercial vehicles, including the ones listed below:
- Cargo vans
- Delivery trucks
- Moving vans and rental vehicles
- Construction equipment (forklifts, skid loaders and cranes)
- Bucket trucks
- Hotel shuttles
- Semi trucks
There are many reasons these accidents occur. Limited visibility is one of them. Many commercial vehicle accidents occur in alleyways or when commercial vehicles are parked on busy city streets, delivering goods. Drivers of these vehicles (or other vehicles) fail to use the proper amount of caution to look out for other drivers in these situations. As a result, drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians often suffer significant injuries.
Commercial vehicle accidents often involve other factors such as drivers who speed while behind the wheel, drive while intoxicated, or drunk, or are too inexperienced to safely operate the vehicle. In recent years, many commercial trucking companies have tried to cut corners by operating while short-staffed or by hiring inexperienced drivers. Both of these methods can put other drivers at risk.
When we handle a commercial vehicle accident case, our lawyers keep these facts in mind. We thoroughly investigate the matter to determine the true causes behind your accident. Often, our investigations reveal that the drivers involved were inexperienced or overworked when they made negligent driving decisions that caused truck accidents.
