MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISIONS
Every day, people are operating motor vehicles while distracted, impaired, or traveling at dangerous speeds. Right now, one person dies every 48 minutes in the United States in a drunk driving collision.
Distracted driving poses serious risks to drivers, their passengers, other drivers and pedestrians on the roads. Approximately 500,000 people per year are killed or injured due to texting and driving.
18-WHEELER, SEMI TRUCK COLLISIONS
Big 18-Wheeler Tractor Trailer Rigs can be found in increasing numbers on every highway in the United States. Each year, 18-Wheelers account for a significant number of highway deaths and other catastrophic injuries.
Commercial trucking companies are required to follow strict federal rules to increase safety, however, too often, trucks are not regularly inspected, driver sleep logs get falsified, and driver background checks get ignored to make a quicker profit. Add distracted driving, drunk driving, impaired driving to this list and and you can see why big rigs cause so much death and destruction.
Unsafe Premises and Conditions
Dangerous conditions on premises can exist that cause catastrophic injury or death. These conditions often arise in the workplace and frequently occur while doing everyday acts such as grocery shopping. When facilities, businesses and structures fall into disrepair, dangerous conditions exist. Falls, electrocutions, drownings, and amputations often occur due to facilities, businesses, and structures falling into disrepair.
The entity in control of the property has a legal duty to inspect for problems and either make them safe or warn you of the issues.
