Lancaster Lawyers Evaluate Equipment Design and Other Liability Factors in Truck Accidents
Tractor trailer design defect cases are complicated and expensive. Most attorneys and law firms are unqualified to even evaluate such claims. Others are unwilling to undertake the commitment in time and money that is necessary to pursue them. Therefore, the design defect aspects of truck accidents are often overlooked. Prompt, detailed investigations are essential to preparation of a strong case.

Like the family car, a truck tractor should be designed to be “crashworthy”; e.g. to provide reasonable protection and to not cause unreasonable injury in a crash. Sometimes a truck driver is injured because the tractor is not crashworthy. In such cases, the truck driver may have a basis for a claim against the manufacturer.
Much more often, the occupants of a passenger vehicle that is involved in a truck accident die or sustain catastrophic injuries in part because the truck tractor or the trailer is defectively designed. In such cases we look at such issues as blind spots, the lack of adequate underride protection, illumination, and, particularly for accidents that happen at night, the reflective properties of the truck cab and the trailer.
