Fuel tankers and oil trucks must carry liquid and gas cargo to various destinations across the country. When you see these trucks on the road, they may be hauling water, milk, gasoline, oil, or other substances. Attorneys and Founding Partners Christopher A. Johnston and Christopher P. Martineau, along with Associate Jason Yates, can be relentless in the pursuit of fair compensation for those who have lost because of an accident with a large truck. If this is what you or a loved one has recently gone through, we urge you to speak with our fuel truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. At Johnston | Martineau PLLP, we have many years of collective experience representing victims of personal injury accidents, and can come to your side immediately.
What We Can Do For You
In the event of a collision, the liquid or other material being carried may spew and cause repercussions for people and the environment. We are aware of the tragedy that can be caused when these trucks or tankers are involved in a crash. The trucking industry is essential to having what we need for living delivered and available in our stores, but some are hazardous chemicals that can leak onto the roadway if an accident happens. We have seen the personal injury and property damage that can result from a collision with a fuel tanker or oil truck. What we can do for you is handle the legal tasks while you prioritize yourself. Let us take the initiative to pursue monetary compensation for all you have lost and suffered from.
How And Why Truck Accidents Happen
Truck accidents can occur for a myriad of reasons. Our team can investigate the situation to uncover the contributing factors and all of the potential liable parties. While you may think that the trucker themselves is the only one at fault, that may not be the case. In fact, we may find that the trucking company, part manufacturer, or another car driver on the road shares responsibility in the incident. Once we identify how and why the truck accident happened, we can seek fair monetary restitution for your damages, injury care, and other losses. As our knowledgeable fuel truck accident attorney explains, the most common factors for tanker accidents can include the following:
- The trucker was texting and driving
- The trucker was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
- Those responsible for performing vehicle maintenance failed to do so
- The trucker did not get enough sleep or rest breaks
- The trucking company ignored, overlooked, or failed to fix parts
- The loading team did not properly secure the loading of cargo
