Truck Accidents Kill

The statistics are alarming. While large trucks make up approximately 4 percent of the registered vehicles on the nation's roadways, they account for almost 10 percent of accidents involving fatalities—and the numbers of truck crashes and related injuries and fatalities increase every year. Last year, trucking revenues totaled $610 billion, which is estimated to double by 2015. With payment incentives that focus on deadlines and moving cargo rapidly for pay by the mile or by weight, the trucking industry has created a killing field on US roads.

So what can we do to stop the carnage?

Truck accident lawyer Brad Pistotnik has expertise on motor-carrier regulations, practices, and litigation. His book Truck Accidents Kill is the most authoritative text to date on the issues surrounding large-truck accidents.

Brad Pistotnik concentrates on truck accident law involving tractor-trailer, cattle trucks, construction trucks as well as farm and agricultural trucks. Additionally, he focuses on home delivery accidents with companies like Amazon, Federal Express and UPS and other companies delivering pharmaceutical medications, groceries, meals, consumer goods and retail goods from mail order.

From the latest available statistics and the causes of driver errors to manufacturing and maintenance problems, job pressures, and questions of liability, he provides the tools for anyone who is concerned about road safety. The book is valuable to attorneys who are fighting to ensure that the trucking and insurance industries take responsibility in keeping the public safe.
