The Importance of Proper Training for Commercial Truck Drivers

May 4, 2023/by Bailey Javins & Carter

Driving a big rig is a completely different experience than driving a standard passenger vehicle. Even something as simple as taking a right turn is way more complicated in a big rig. As you may imagine, training is a core part of getting a CDL and becoming a tractor-trailer driver. However, as the demand for […]

The Dangers of Distracted Driving for Commercial Truck Drivers

April 24, 2023/by Bailey, Javins & Carter

Distracted driving is such a significant problem that many experts go so far as to call it an epidemic. Take a look around during your daily commute—it’s nearly impossible to go through an entire drive without seeing someone texting or otherwise using their phone when they should be focusing on the road. While no one […]

The Role of Driver Fatigue in Commercial Truck Accidents

April 14, 2023/by Bailey, Javins & Carter

We live in a busy world. People today have more to do than ever before, with less and less time to do it in—thanks to growing commutes. Tired driving seems like an unavoidable part of getting around, but it shouldn’t be that way. The longer you stay awake, the riskier your driving gets. This risk […]

The Importance of Proper Maintenance in Preventing Commercial Truck Accidents

April 4, 2023/by Bailey Javins and Carter LC

We’re all guilty of it—the date and mileage listed on our window sticker comes and goes, and yet we keep putting the miles on without a trip to the dealership. After all, if everything sounds okay, what could go wrong? While stretching out the time between maintenance appointments for a passenger vehicle may be a […]

What Does Maximum Medical Improvement Mean in a Truck Crash Claim?

March 2, 2023/by Bailey, Javins & Carter, L.C.

After a truck accident, it’s natural for the injured victims to feel anxious about settling their claim because of the mounting medical bills and their inability to earn wages while they are recovering. Based on this, you should not jump the gun in accepting an early settlement until you have reached your maximum medical improvement […]

What Makes Sideswipe Truck Collisions So Dangerous?

March 2, 2023/by Bailey Javins and Carter

Commercial trucks are at a higher risk of causing or being involved in sideswipe accidents because of blind spots on the side, front, and back of the vehicle. Truck drivers can’t always see what’s around them, making it dangerous and difficult to change lanes or turn. It’s crucial to hire a successful commercial truck accident […]

Facial Injuries Frequently Caused by Truck Accidents

February 10, 2023/by Bailey Javins and Carter LC

Truck accident injuries can be disastrous and life-altering. Nothing leaves a more visible, physically disfiguring, and emotionally damaging mark on a victim than a facial injury. The massive momentum, size, and weight of trucks can combine together in unfortunate circumstances to cause deeply invasive injuries to the face and neck. If you or a loved […]

Why You Shouldn’t Give an Insurance Adjuster Your Health History

February 3, 2023/by Bailey, Javins & Carter, L.C.

Medical release forms give insurance company adjusters access to your complete medical records. You are essentially giving ammunition to the insurance adjuster to disprove your claim and opening a door to question your credibility and claim. The only time it’s okay to sign a medical release is when it is needed by your own insurance […]
