Logging is a vital industry in this country. But this important natural resource is transported by way of our public highways on large and unwieldy log trucks that can cause dangerous accidents with injuries and fatalities. Often the very loggers who cut those trees on the back of the truck are the ones driving them to the mill. They are exhausted and anxious to get to their destination. And while there are strict regulations about how much to carry and how to ensure the safety of a load, there may be negligence involved in making each trip as cost efficient for the logging company as possible. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed in a log truck accident, you should call a truck accident lawyer to evaluate your case and determine if you are due compensation.
