From Texas to the Bakken, Fracking Truck Accidents are Increasing

Any time a fully loaded semi truck (weighing in at around 40 tons) collides with a passenger vehicle (weighing in at an average of 2.5 tons), the truck and its driver will come away from the wreck with less damage.  As the number of trucks on the road increase, so do the number of truck accidents; and many of those accidents result in fatalities or permanent injuries.  If you, or someone you love, have been in a truck accident that involves a fracking truck in North Dakota, Texas, or anywhere in between, you need a lawyer to help you sort through the mess.  Contact a highly trained truck accident attorney from Arentz Law Group P.C. today by calling 1-800-305-6000, or fill out the contact form on this page, to schedule your free case review.

Increasing Fracking Truck Accidents

Multiple regions around the country are booming right now because of the technology available.  This technology, which was developed around the year 2000, has helped companies to drill oil from areas that were previously inaccessible.  The boom has resulted in a surplus amount of truck traffic.

The sheer number of trucks on the road (and often these roads are small 2 lane highways that are not suited for this kind of truck traffic) leads to a greater number of fracking truck accidents.  These accidents are often caused by improper driver training, mechanical failure, or driver negligence.  You need a truck accident attorney to help you figure out where the fault lies.

Fracking Truck Accidents Are Complicated

When a personal vehicle hits another vehicle, it is relatively easy to determine who is at fault and what happened.  This is not true for fracking or other commercial trucks.  There are a whole host of components at play here.

Driver – The driver is responsible to have proper licensing and to obey the laws of the road and drive safely.  Failure to do so can result in an accident.

Mechanical Failure – The owner of the truck is responsible to make sure the fracking truck is mechanically sound.  Failure to do so can result in an accident.

Truck Owner – The company that owns the truck is responsible to hire (and train) adequate drivers as well as keep the trucks in good working order.

Equipment Loader – Those who load the equipment need to ensure it is loaded and secured properly.  If not it can come loose and cause an accident.

Shipping Company – The company that hires the truck and driver have a responsibility to place real expectations on the shipment.  If the load needs to travel 2,000 miles, it is irresponsible to request that it be delivered within 36 hours.

As you can see there are many different working parts that go into shipment by truck, and when you are involved in a truck accident, it can be caused by a multitude of reasons.  Without a fracking truck attorney to help you sort through where the fault is, you may not be able to collect the compensation you need or deserve.
