The operator of the tractor-trailer did not sustain any injuries as a result of the motor vehicle collision.Liability in Trucking Accidents\u00a7\u00a032-5A-170 \u2014 Reasonable and prudent speedNo person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing. Consistent with the foregoing, every person shall drive at a safe and appropriate speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railroad grade crossing, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or highway conditions.Wrongful Death ClaimThe family of a victim that died in a truck accident may be able to hold the truck driver accountable through a wrongful death claim. A\u00a0wrongful death attorney\u00a0can examine all of the specific facts of your case and let you know what your options are.When the operator of a commercial vehicle is found to be at-fault for a fatal collision it is important to contact an attorney quickly so that they begin investigating the incident further. A good personal injury attorney can hire an accident scene reconstructionist, review the truck driver\u2019s log books and download crash data from the vehicles involved in the collision. The commercial carrier and their attorney\u2019s start working to avoid liability minutes after the fatal accident occurs, having the same facts and details surrounding the car accident that the party-at-fault has can put you on equal footing and ensure they do not escape justice.Getting Help After Trucking AccidentHave you or someone that you care about been involved in a truck accident?
