Getting Justice and Fair Compensation After a Truck Accident
When Truck Drivers and Trucking Companies Place Profits Above Safety
With three major interstates running through the Missouri-Illinois border in St. Louis — I-44, I-64 and I-70 — Missouri and Illinois see more than their fair share of trucking accidents. Unfortunately, many of these accidents are caused by the negligence of truck drivers or trucking companies.
In an attempt to increase their profits, drivers of 18-wheelers sometimes do things that endanger public safety. They speed. They don’t take the required rest breaks and drive while tired. Some even use stimulants or illegal drugs to stay awake.
To save money, trucking companies sometimes hire unqualified drivers or fail to perform the required inspections and to maintain equipment properly. They may overload trailers, increasing the danger of a mechanical failure with brakes, tires and other semi truck equipment.
