At the Fleming & Palermo law firm, you will find a comfortable environment where you can discuss the circumstances of the accident and the effects it has had on you and your family with Houston personal injury lawyers.  There are numerous state and federal regulations which govern the trucking industry.  After a truck accident occurs, it is extremely important to hire experienced attorneys to initiate an investigation into the cause.  Also, evidence must be preserved and examined by experts if necessary.  Truck accidents can be caused by many factors including, driver inattention, speeding, failure to use brakes, failure to control the truck, unqualified drivers, defective equipment, passing or changing lanes in an unsafe manner, leaving a truck on the road, drug or alcohol use, following too closely and numerous other causes.  Accidents can be caused by the employer trucking company such as failing to properly train, violation of statutes or regulations, encouraging drivers to speed, hiring of poor drivers, improper supervision of drivers, failure to screen for drug or alcohol abuses and improper maintenance of the vehicles.
