Missouri Driver Negligence Attorney

Helping You Receive Compensation After a Truck Accident

Truck-related accidents often occur due to improper loading, driver fatigue and other driving violations. At the Law Office of Kenneth P. Carp, we understand how to evaluate these types of accidents and our lawyers can help you pursue compensation for your injuries.

Improper Cargo

With the cost of doing business on the rise, many businesses and trucking companies are forced to cut corners where they can. Unfortunately, when work is performed quickly or with inexperienced and cheap labor, errors can be made that result in serious traffic accidents.

If materials are loaded in trucks improperly, the loads can shift and create all manner of problems for the truck driver. Such negligence is not restricted to semi trucks. You could also suffer catastrophic injuries from an accident with a construction, dump truck, UPS or FedEx truck.

Improper Driving

Our St. Louis area attorneys can also help you if a truck driver violated the rules of the road. Many rear-end accidents happen because a truck driver is speeding and cannot stop the truck in time. Drunk driving and driver fatigue are also universal problems that affect truck drivers. If you were injured due to a truck driver's negligent driving, we can help.

Our Investigation

Our attorneys take a hands-on approach to every case. To help determine liability, we personally take aerial photos of the scene. We also interview police officers and obtain witness statements.

For complex accident scenes, we use experts who can recreate truck accidents and give their expert opinions on what caused or contributed to the accident. We may also bring in trained highway department evaluators who will evaluate your case and give an opinion on the liability involved.

Sometimes, other factors contribute to your accident. When necessary, we also review speed zones, stoplights and any other contributing factors. If you were involved in an accident with a hauling truck, we can also review the driver's mandatory logbook to determine whether some other type of improper action occurred.
