New York Truck Accident Lawyers

Attorneys Representing Clients Injured in Semi Crashes

Due to the size and speed at which semi trucks travel, injuries in truck accidents are usually severe or fatal. Unfortunately, as trucking companies are under increased pressure to deliver freight faster and cheaper, some trucking companies look the other way when truck drivers violate state and federal regulations. As a result, speeding, falling asleep at the wheel, driver error and poor vehicle maintenance are common causes of truck accidents.

At the law office of Ostrer & Hoovler, P.C., our New York truck accident attorneys work with trained accident investigators to examine the cause of truck accidents and to hold truck drivers financially accountable when they are negligent. Our lawyers have the experience and resources needed to hold truck drivers responsible for their actions and to help those who have been injured as a result of a truck driver's negligence.

Holding Negligent Semi Truck Drivers Accountable

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has set limits on how long a truck driver can drive in any given period of time. Truck drivers are required to log their time and adhere to FMCSA regulations.

When investigating truck accidents, our attorneys review the truck driver's log book, fuel receipts, and data from the truck's GPS and on-board black box data recorder system. As a result, we can often determine if a driver exceeded the allowable drive-time limits and made sudden driving errors due to driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel.
