PARADISE TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

Type of Truck Accidents

Paradise, Nevada may be less well known to visitors, but as the home of the University of Nevada, McCarran International Airport addition, and numerous hotels and casinos, it gets more than its share of traffic. In addition to residents, students, and tourists commuting throughout the area, drivers find themselves sharing the road with numerous semi-trucks and tractor trailers making commercial deliveries. Cars are no match for these big rigs when it comes to being involved in an accident, and the injuries sustained are often severe. When you are involved in a truck accident, our Paradise injury attorneys are here to provide the professional legal representation you need, defending your interests against the trucking companies and their insurers so you can get the compensation you need to recover.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there are nearly 4,000 driver fatalities each year as the result of truck accidents, while as many as 90,000 others suffer serious injuries At Naqvi Injury Law, we represent those injured in the following types of truck accidents:

`

• Rollover Accidents: These accidents are often related to truck driver errors, such as failing to properly navigate turns or approaching turns at too high a speed, or as the result of improper loading and securing of cargo.   
• Side Swipe Accidents: These occur when a truck driver switches lanes suddenly, into the path of another vehicle. The driver may not have looked before attempting to change lanes, or may have failed to account for motorists in their blind spot.  
• T-Bone Collisions: These collisions often occur as the result of driver inattention or due to reckless driving behaviors such as speeding or running red lights.
• Rear End Collisions: These can result from poor truck maintenance, such as faulty brake systems, or as the result of the truck driver’s failure to respond to changes in traffic flow.   
• Head On Collisions: This happens when a truck leaves its own lane and crashes head-first into oncoming traffic. These collisions may be due to driver inexperience or unfamiliarity with traffic patterns, particularly around exit and entrance ramps, or as the result of driving under the influence or falling asleep behind the wheel.

In any of the above crashes, the truck driver has the size and bulk of their vehicle to protect them.  Unfortunately, it is often other motorists who suffer the most severe and potentially life threatening harm.
