Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Our lawyer, Michael Guajardo, has been practicing personal injury law since 1992. He has significant knowledge of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and applies this knowledge to the investigation of your claim.

- Driver fatigue / driving over hours
- Falsifying actual hours of service
- Inadequate driver training
- Inadequately supervised truck drivers
- Excessive speed
- Driver under influence of drugs or alcohol
- Improper truck maintenance
