Commercial trucking companies have a legal responsibility to ensure that their vehicles are safe and that their drivers are properly trained. Sadly, commercial trucking companies often fail in this regard, leading to serious accidents and injuries. Accidents with commercial trucks involve complicated evidence and require extensive investigation, so it is essential to choose an attorney who has experience navigating commercial trucking accident cases. At StachlerHarmon, our attorneys have been representing accident victims for the last two decades.

Understanding the causes of truck accidents in Ohio is important for building your case. Negligence on the part of commercial trucking companies can take many forms:

Driver’s speed
-
Trucks are not properly maintained
