Truck Accidents

Kansas City, Missouri, Trucking Accident Lawyer

A collision between an 18 wheeler and a passenger car or SUV often involves devastating consequences for occupants of the smaller vehicle. Few auto insurance policies provide adequate benefits to compensate families for serious injuries such as those that lead to brain damage, paralysis, or death. Attorneys at Glenn E. Bradford & Associates, P.C., help clients recover the damages they need to rebuild their lives.

As your advocate the attorney will work to get maximum compensation on your behalf and handle the tangle of claims.

Truck driver error, defective roadways—causes of truck crashes

Falling asleep at the wheel after driving over hours allowed under state and federal regulations, speeding, using medications or alcohol, drug abuse, inadequate training and supervision—a commercial truck driver and the driver's employer have responsibilities to take great care for the safety of the public. In addition to driver negligence other factors leading to the crash may include defective tires, failure on the part of the trucking company to perform required maintenance, and roadway design defects.
